Stress-Dependent Soil Water Characteristic Curves of Compacted Sand–Gypsum Mixtures
The presence of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) impacts soil structure, bonding, pore size distribution, and water-holding characteristics, altering both compaction characteristics and soil water characteristic curves (SWCC).

A simple approach for predicting soil water characteristic curve of clayey soils using pore size distribution data [PDF]
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.

Field monitoring and model predicted water balance of monolithic cover [PDF]
The use of the evapotranspiration cover for landfill is increasing because of its long-term enhanced performance. However, the performance of evapotranspiration cover primarily depends on the onsite geo-climatic conditions.

Fractal model for bimodal soil-water characteristic curve and its application in pore classification
Most existing bimodal soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) models are derived from the empirical models for unimodal SWCC, in which the parameters have no clear physical meanings or value ranges generally.

Variability of Bimodal Soil-Water Characteristic Curves under Different Confining Pressures
Soils with two subcurves of Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) (dual porosity soils) might be found within various residual soils. Soils located in different depths have different confining pressure.

One-stage Bayesian experimental design optimization for measuring soil-water characteristic curve
The direct measurements of soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) are often costly and time-consuming. Therefore, only a limited number of test data can be obtained from a single SWCC test, based on which the estimated SWCC inevitably produces ...

Determination of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves of Unsaturated Sandy Soils Using Membrane Filter with Stainless Wire Mesh [PDF]
Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an important soil function in an unsaturated soil mechanics field for design and analyses of any unsaturated earth structures. Determination of SWCC is not easy and more so time consuming. Generally, ceramic disc
