Laboratory measurement of hydraulic conductivity functions of two unsaturated sandy soils during drying and wetting processes [PDF]

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2013
The importance of applying unsaturated soil mechanics to geotechnical engineering design has been well understood. However, the consumption of time and the necessity for a specific laboratory testing apparatus when measuring unsaturated soil properties ...

Wetting front advancing column test for measuring unsaturated hydraulic conductivity

open access: yesCanadian Geotechnical Journal, 2009
Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is the primary soil parameter required when performing seepage analyses for unsaturated-saturated soil systems. Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is also one of the most difficult parameters to measure because of the ...

ONE-PARAMETER MODELS FOR UNSATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY

Soil Science, 1998
Simple one-parameter models for predicting changes in unsaturated soil hydraulic properties with changing soil-water content are useful, considering the great uncertainty and variability in the hydraulic parameters, and the models are often used for stochastic simulations of water and solute transport under field conditions.

Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Landfilled Waste

Unsaturated Soils 2006, 2006
Unsaturated flow modelling of landfill hydraulics is a potentially valuable tool for the prediction of leachate discharge rates, design of leachate control systems and simulation of biodegradation in engineered landfills. Such an approach requires information on the moisture retention and hydraulic properties of waste, usually in the form of empirical ...

Spatial Variability of Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1971
Abstract Spatial variability of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was studied for 40 ha of Pima clay loam. Calculations of hydraulic conductivity were based on the moisture release data using a modified Millington‐Quirk equation.

Measurement of Subsurface Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity

Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, 2000
Measurement of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is needed for precise control of water and solutes in the vadose zone. Because of the spatial variation of soils, a large number of surface and subsurface measurements are needed to characterize a field. In this work, permeameters were developed and tested for estimating subsurface unsaturated hydraulic

Effective unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of layered sands

Water Resources Research, 1990
Accurate estimates of field‐scale hydraulic conductivities of unsaturated heterogeneous soils are very difficult to obtain. In the present study, various approaches to determining effective conductivity values for heterogeneous sands are compared with laboratory measurements.

BIMODAL POROSITY AND UNSATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY

Soil Science, 1991
Soil water characteristic curves determined on undisturbed soil samples in the laboratory were used for the calculation of the unsaturated conductivity function K(h). This computed K(h) was compared to the unsaturated conductivity data measured directly in the field.
