The knowledge of unsaturated soil is indispensable for several hydrological and
geoenvironmental problems such as permeation of water through vadoze zone, ground …

Experimental data from different testing methodologies on different compacted clayey soils,
with dominant bimodal pore size distribution, are presented and analysed, to provide a …

A review of hysteresis models for soil-water characteristic curves is presented. The models
can be categorized into two groups:(i) domain models (or physically based models) and (ii) …

The behaviour of an expansive soil was studied through a number of experiments involving
cycles of wetting and drying. Laboratory tests were conducted on compacted samples of an …

Main wetting and drying paths in terms of water ratio (volume of water to volume of solids)
indicate a delimiting zone in the water retention curve of an aggregated clayey fabric …

This paper is an overview of the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour and properties of
natural soils and soft rocks, from soft clays to chalk. It is based on Critical State Soil …

The paper presents an experimental and modelling approach for the soil-water retention
behaviour of two deformable soils. The objective is to investigate the physical mechanisms …

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a
fundamental feature of unsaturated soil that simply shows the relationship between soil …
