Model for Predicting the Hydraulic Conductivity of Frozen Soils Using the Soil Freezing Characteristic Curve

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Frost heave and thaw settlement driven by freeze‐thaw cycles in seasonally frozen soils of cold regions are strongly related to water migration. A key parameter controlling water migration in frozen soils is the hydraulic conductivity, which predominantly governs the movement of water under thermal and hydraulic gradients.

Geotechnical Stability Analysis of Dune Face Erosion by Waves

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Predicting the extent of wave‐driven dune erosion under wave impact and elevated water levels will improve our ability to safeguard the livelihood of ecosystems, communities and infrastructure living behind sandy beaches worldwide. However, the geophysical processes leading to time‐dependent dune face failures are still not fully understood ...

Experimental research on soil water characteristic curve of parallel specimens and its influence on mechanical behavior

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The drying tests on eight triaxial specimens with the same remolding condition are carried out for soil water characteristic curve (SWCC). The differences of SWCC are compared.

Experimental study on SWCCs under equal stress and equal void ratio states

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The existing laboratory test results in the literatures show that the void ratio is a direct factor affecting the soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs), whereas the stress state is an indirect factor affecting SWCC, via void ratio.

Estimation of soil water characteristic curve parameters in different models in light soils [PDF]

open access: yesرویکردهای نوین در مهندسی آب و محیط زیست
In addition to soil water content, soil matric potential is also important for plant growth. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) or soil moisture characteristic curve describes soil water content and soil matric potential relationship.

Ensemble learning of soil–water characteristic curve for unsaturated seepage using physics-informed neural networks

open access: yesSoils and Foundations
The determination of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is crucial for hydro-mechanical modelling and analysis of soil slopes. Conventional inverse analysis often relies on a predetermined SWCC model for parameter estimation.
