Variability in the measured soil‒water characteristic curve with respect to the numbers of specimens [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe soil‒water characteristic curve (SWCC) defines the relationship between the amount of water in soil and soil suction. The SWCC is commonly used to estimate the hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) and the shear strength function (SSF). Therefore, an

Estimating soil-water characteristic curve based on soil type and best-fitting regressions derived from a simplified method using Aburra Valley dataset [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 In unsaturated soil mechanics, many attempts have been made to estimate the SWCC based on soil texture and grain-size distribution. This paper proposes a simplified method to estimate the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) for both coarse and fine ...

A simple approach for predicting soil water characteristic curve of clayey soils using pore size distribution data [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) of soils can be derived from the measured pore size distribution (PSD) data by applying capillary models. This method is limited for clayey soils due to the PSD changes during SWCC testing.
