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.

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

Effect of hysteresis on the stability of residual soil slope
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2019 Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential parameter in unsaturated soil mechanics. Matric suction in unsaturated residual soils changes with varying climatic conditions associated with cyclic drying-wetting conditions that result in ...
