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

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

The most widely-used constitutive relations for unsaturated soils use matric soil suction as a
state variable. The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), the relationship between soil …

The traditional methods for determining the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) in the full
suction range always takes several months. To better guide the engineering practice with …

A model for predicting the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) using easy-to-measure
basic soil properties has been proposed. The model uses the widely used SWCC function …

The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), also known as soil water retention curve
(SWRC), describes the relationship between water content and soil suction in unsaturated …

This paper proposes a simplified method to estimate the soil-water characteristic curve
(SWCC) for both coarse-and fine-grained soils using one-point SWCC measurement and …

The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) indicates the relationship between the matric
suction and the water content. In recent years, determination of the soil water characteristic …

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 …

The relationship between soil suction and water content, popularly known as the soil water
characteristic curve (SWCC) provides significant information to evaluate the behaviour of …
