The Effect of Temperature on the SWCC and Estimation of the SWCC from Moisture Profile under a Controlled Thermal Gradient

open access: yes, 2014
In many situations, the upper layers of soil above the ground water table are in a state of unsaturated condition. Although unsaturated soils are found throughout the world, they are predominant in arid or semi-arid regions. In these areas, the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) which relates the water content to the matric suction could be used as

Seawater desalination — SWCC experience and vision

Desalination, 2001
Abstract In order to appreciate Mankind's technological advancements, one needs to present a historical overview. This applies to desalination technology (among all other human developments). Over the millennia, desalination did develop very slowly at the start and then its development started to accelerate.

The parameters fitness of SWCC considering consolidation stress by GA

2010 International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Integrated Systems, 2010
Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) is one of the most important parameters of unsaturated soils. It plays an important role in theoretical research and practical application. For the convenience of practical application, some models are presented, such as Gardner model, V-G model, etc.

Experimental Study on the SWCC Transition Zone Features of Unsaturated Soil

Indian Geotechnical Journal, 2019
In order to study the soils SWCC transition zone features under different steady-state and transient conditions, a series of pressure plate and model tests were carried out; the internal structure adjustment of soil caused by different test conditions is the underlying reason for the change in SWCC transition zone curve.

A BP neural network model for SWCC considering consolidation stress

2010 IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Computing and Intelligent Systems, 2010
Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) plays an important role in theoretical research and practical application. At present, SWCC can be obtained from experiments. The experimental results are inconvenient for practical application. Some models are presented to fit experimental results, such as Gardner model, V-G model, etc.

Laboratory versus field SWCC data

open access: yes, 2009
Soil Water Characteristic Curves (SWCCs) are typically determined in the laboratory by performing drying tests on samples in a Tempe cell. In some cases, re-wetting is also carried out. The advantage of using drying tests is that they are carried out from the saturated state at a given sample test density, so that there is some chance of obtaining ...

Variability Characterization of SWCC for Clay and Silt and Its Application to Infinite Slope Reliability

open access: yesJournal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2021
A novel statistical framework was developed to quantify the variability of the fitting parameters of the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC). Reliable estimation of the mean, standard deviation, and associated probability density function (PDF) of the
