Transient evaporation method is promising for rapid measurement of soil water retention
curve (WRC). Existing apparatuses of transient evaporation method are not ideal for …

A soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) shows soil's ability to provide water availability
and the rate that this water can be transmitted and replenished. However, the current …

This paper presents a new type of pressure cell associated with a zigzag-shaped time
domain reflectometry (TDR) probe for determining the soil-water retention (θ (ψ)) curve of …

The water retention curve (WRC), which characterizes the relationship between the water

Abstract Soil Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) is an essential tool to determine the
properties of unsaturated geomaterials, including shear strength, permeability and volume …

Different methodologies have been developed for establishing the soil-water characteristic
curve, SWCC. These methodologies employ measurement of the soil suction with the help of …

The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) are
widely used to study the hydraulic conductivity behavior of unsaturated soil. This article …

The soil‒water characteristic curve (SWCC) defines the relationship between the amount of
water in soil and soil suction. The SWCC is commonly used to estimate the hydraulic …

It is time consuming and needs sophisticated testing apparatus to determine unsaturated
soil properties such as hydraulic conductivity and shear strength. Therefore, engineers …
