A novel experimental program was undertaken to explore crack development inside an expansive soil column under cyclic Wetting and Drying (WD) and its influences on the Soil …
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 …
Changes in climatic conditions are expected globally resulting in a higher rainfall intensity and longer duration of rainfall. The increase in the rainwater infiltration into the soil …

Dual-porosity structures of fine-grained soils can noticeably affect their ability to retain water. This work jointly employs axis translation technique, filter paper method, and vapor …
Soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) contains the key information related to the hydromechanical properties of unsaturated soil. It is noted that the shapes of the SWCC for …
The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is one of the most crucial and fundamental soil properties in unsaturated soil mechanics. Many theories and equations have been …

Unsaturated soils with bimodal pore structures, such as many residual and colluvial soils, are widespread in nature. Bimodal pore structures can noticeably influence their soil–water …
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 …
