Using Clay Content to Estimate Soil Water Characteristic Curve
Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021 【Objective】 Water retention curve is a parameter describing the ability of a soil to hold water; it is modulated by soil structure and texture. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of using clay content to estimate water retention curve ...

Experimental study to evaluate soil water retention curve of HYPER clay geosynthetic clay liner
, 2022 Geosynthetic clay liners are widely used as hydraulic barrier due to their low hydraulic conductivity but bentonite in the liners loses its effectiveness due to significant thermal fluxes by both diurnal and seasonal heating and cooling cycles.

Comparison Of Selected Pedotransfer Functions For The Determination Of Soil Water Retention Curves
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2015 Soil water retention curves were measured using a sandbox and the pressure plate extractor method on undisturbed soil samples from the Borská Lowland. The basic soil properties (e.g. soil texture, dry bulk density) of the samples were determined.

A comparative study of multiple approaches for predicting the soil-water retention curve: Hyperspectral information vs. basic soil properties [PDF]
, 2015 Information about the soil-water retention curve is necessary for modeling water flow and solute transport processes in soils. Soil spectroscopy in the visible, nearinfrared, and shortwave infrared (Vis-NIR-SWIR) range has been widely used as a rapid ...

Combination of artificial neural networks and fractal theory to predict soil water retention curve
, 2013 Despite good progress in developing pedotransfer functions (PTFs), the input variables that are more preferable in a PTF have not been yet determined clearly. Among the modeling techniques to characterize soil structure, those using fractal theory are in

International Soil and Water Conservation ResearchKnowing soil hydraulic properties is essential to support soil use and management practices; however, their measuring is commonly expensive and time-consuming. Thus, pedotransfer functions (PTFs) have been used to quantify physical properties such as the

Water retention and shrinkage curves of weathered pyroclastic soil [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 The modelling of the triggering mechanism of rainfall-induced landslides in slopes covered by pyroclastic soil (as the area surrounding Mount Vesuvius in Campania, Italy) requires the hydraulic characterization of soil in unsaturated conditions in order to analyse the slope response to rainfalls. In previous studies carried out on Campanian pyroclastic
