Nonlinear coupled heat-moisture-contaminant transport equations are established to
analyze the temperature-driven movement of moisture and migration of heavy metal Pb 2+ …

Many geo-hazards occurred in regions incorporating loess-paleosol sequences.
Understanding the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated intact paleosol and intact …

Reliable estimates of the unsaturated soil hydraulic properties are needed in many research
and engineering projects. The void ratio or bulk density is an important factor affecting the …

The degree of saturation (S) of soil can be separated into two components: the degree of
capillary saturation (S′) that is based on the capillary water and the degree of adsorptive …

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 …

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

Sediment depths can influence both soil structure and hydraulic processes, resulting in
diverse soil-water retention properties. This study aimed to investigate the impact of …

The soil‐water characteristic curve (SWCC) is the basis for describing seepage, strength,
and constitutive model of unsaturated soil. The existing SWCC models do not work …

Composite geotextiles with polyester yarn reinforcement have been commonly used in
combination with unsaturated soils. Both unsaturated and saturated shear strength of the …

Traditional water retention models often overlook the dynamic interplay between soil
structure and moisture content, leading to inaccurate predictions of unsaturated soil …
