Calculation of Capillary Rise Height of Soils by SWCC Model [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018 The maximum capillary rise height of soil is a complex system which is mainly determined by the distribution characteristics of soil pores. The tests of the rising height of capillary water on 8 kinds of soils by the method of vertical tube are widely conducted to measure the maximum capillary rise height.

Analytical reliability analysis of soil-water characteristic curve
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 The Soil Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC), also known as the soil water-retention curve, is an important part of any constitutive relationship for unsaturated soils.

Effect of initial void ratio on the soil water characteristics of unsaturated soil at high suctions
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2022 In arid and semi-arid regions, such as in northwestern China, unsaturated soils at high suction or over a wide suction range are widespread in various geotechnical designs.

Water-holding characteristics of weathered granite soils
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018 By using the pressure plate technique and the vapor equilibrium method with saturated salt solution, the water-holding characteristics of a granite double-layer soil slope with different weathering degrees are studied.

Hypoplastic Model for Unsaturated Soils With Degree of Saturation Dependent Stiffness
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an enhanced hydro‐mechanically coupled hypoplastic constitutive model for unsaturated soils, developed by extending an existing framework, with particular emphasis on improving the stiffness formulation to better capture the influence of the degree of saturation. The existing framework links Bishop's effective stress to the

Developing continuum‐scale models for water flow in frozen soil
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Abstract A widely accepted continuum‐scale model capable of accounting for pore‐scale processes reasonably remains elusive in the study of water flow through frozen soil, particularly within geo‐environmental science and geotechnical engineering applications.

A Fractal Link Between Soil Water Retention and Freezing
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Soils undergo wetting‐drying and freezing‐thawing cycles, yet their water retention and freezing behaviors are typically described within separate frameworks. This separation raises a fundamental question: do desaturation and freezing share comparable pore‐structure controls?

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract The melting point depression of water confined in porous media with varying pore sizes has been widely observed. Existing models remain insufficient for describing water phase change in smaller pores (i.e., nano pore), where surface effects become significant and water molecules are inhomogeneously distributed near solid surface.

Bayesian Estimation of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves [PDF]
, 2021 The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a significant prerequisite for studying the mechanical properties of unsaturated soil. As experimental measurement of the SWCC is time-consuming, empirical methods have been suggested to estimate the SWCC ...

The United States Magnetotelluric Array and the National Impedance Map
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract The United States Magnetotelluric Array (USMTArray) data set, collected in the years 2006–2024, consists of more than 1,700 long‐period magnetotelluric stations covering the entirety of the contiguous United States on a quasi‐regular 70 km grid.
