Performance evaluation of SWCC SWRO plants
Desalination, 1989Abstract The study deals with the performance evaluation of three SWCC SWRO plants, two supplying water to remote area towns and the third supplying water to Jeddah: • the 4400 m3/d Umm Lujj Plant, commissioned July 1986, • the 2275 m3/d Al-Brik Plant, commissioned Dec 1983 and • the 12000 m3/d Jeddah Plant, commissioned 1979.

Influence of Initial Water Content and Specimen Thickness on the SWCC of Fine-Grained Soils
International Journal of Geomechanics, 2013 Earlier researchers have demonstrated that the compaction effort and water content, type of soil and mineralogy, void ratio, fabric, and stress history influence the soil-water characteristics curve (SWCC) of fine-grained soils to a great extent. However,

Modified Grading Curve – SWCC Relations
2012In the ongoing research a topological interpolation method was elaborated over the N -1 dimensional space of the grading curves – represented by a N -1 dimensional simplex - using c N 2 data. The surface is selected on the basis of the grading entropy concept and the interpolated function is extended to the whole simplex by the grading entropy map.

The Influence of the Compaction Energy on the SWCC of a Residual Soil
Advances in Unsaturated Geotechnics, 2000The proliferation of the use of the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) to obtain the unsaturated soil parameters is unavoidable and in some cases desired. However, the complex interrelation between soil water content and soil water suction makes the adequate indirect determination of the unsaturated soil parameters a difficult task.

Estimation of SWCC and Permeability for Granular Soils
2020This chapter presents a new estimation model for soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) of granular soils with the effect of initial density. The proposed model, namely the modified Fredlund and Xing (MFX) model, is based on the Fredlund and Xing equation without increasing the number of parameters.

Effect of Drying and Wetting SWCCs on Unsaturated Soil Slopes
2021The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) exhibits hysteresis. It is the relation between soil water and soil suction. Desorption (drying) and sorption (wetting) can be used to obtain SWCC. The suction is different in drying and wetting SWCC paths. The slope failures generally take place in wetting SWCC. Therefore, a few efforts have been made in this

An Oedometer-Type Pressure Plate SWCC Apparatus
Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2008Abstract A new oedometer device for SWCC determination has been evaluated by testing a wide range of soil types, and recommendations for best practices for use of this device have been made. The new device allows application and control of the net normal stress, σ−ua, in addition to the matric suction, ua−uw.

A New Equation for SWCCs of Unsaturated Soils
2018In the current geotechnical engineering practice, soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are essential for quantifying the mechanical responses of unsaturated soil. The SWCC can be measured from laboratory or estimated from some empirical equations.

Materials performance and failure evaluation in SWCC MSF plants
Desalination, 1994Abstract An MSF plant is subjected to different forms of deteriorations due to the use of a wide variety of materials and existence of diverse types of environments. It is well established that seawater and uncondensed gases are responsible for the majority of the failures reported in desalination plants.
