Permeability Functions for Unsaturated Soils
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997 This paper examines the three categories of permeability functions for unsaturated soils, including empirical, macroscopic, and statistical models. The theoretical backgrounds and performance of each category are examined against various experimental data.

Simulating infiltration processes into fractured and swelling soils as triggering factors of landslides [PDF]
, 2013 The influence of rainfall in triggering landslides is a widely discussed topic in scientific literature. The slope stability of fractured surface soils is often influenced by the soil suction.

A structural bounding surface constitutive model for unsaturated soils and its verification
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022 Most soils have both unsaturated and structural properties. The establishment of a constitutive model of unsaturated soils considering the structure is of great significance for analyzing the mechanical properties of unsaturated soils.

A modification of the mixed form of Richards equation and its application in vertically inhomogeneous soils [PDF]
, 2011 Recently, new soil data maps were developed, which include vertical soil properties like soil type. Implementing those into a multilayer Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Transfer (SVAT) scheme, discontinuities in the water content occur at the interface ...

Determining the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of a compacted sand-bentonite mixture under constant volume and free-swell conditions [PDF]
, 2008 Highly compacted sand-bentonite mixtures are often considered as possible engineered barriers in deep high-level radioactive waste disposals. In-situ, the saturation of these barriers from their initially unsaturated state is a complex hydro-mechanical ...
