Many shallow foundations are constructed within the soil layer above the groundwater table,
where the soil remains unsaturated, and the failure of shallow foundation is mostly related to …

The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) contains information regarding the geometric
pore space in a soil and is commonly used to estimate unsaturated soil properties, such as …

Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is usually estimated by fitting a prescribed
parametric model to a limited number of test data. Uncertainties in estimated SWCC are …

In the study, a three-parameter model was presented to calculate the thermal conductivity at
full range of degree of saturation (S) for fine-grained soils based on the Fredlund and **ng …

During heavy rainfalls, the surface soil on a slope may be eroded and the erosion is much
dependent on the tensile strength of soil. In addition, the tensile strength of soil is also one of …

Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) defines the relationship between water content and
suction in soil. Many unsaturated properties can be estimated from SWCC such as …

The hydraulic properties of soil (ie soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and coefficient of
permeability) govern the moisture flow in it. Previous research has indicated that the …

The multiphase flow (including liquid flow and air flow) in unsaturated soil is related to many
engineering problems such as contaminant transport, rainwater infiltration, and soil-water …

Because of the difficulty to reach high suction at the residual state of unsaturated soils, the
saturation-suction experimental data for soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is often …

Wetting hydrological processes are relevant to a considerable number of natural hazards,
including landslides, dam breaks, surface runoff after floods, etc. The notable difference …
