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 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 massif rupture is not always reached under saturated conditions; therefore, the analysis
of the unsaturated phenomenon is necessary in some cases. This study performed a …

A multi-exponential function (ME) is proposed to depict the highly nonlinear soil water
retention curve and hydraulic conductivity function. Then, semi-analytical solution of pore …

Resistivity index curves describe the relationship between electrical resistivity and water
saturation of porous media and are critical in formation evaluation and for the geophysical …

This paper explores the potential of machine learning techniques to predict the soil water
retention curve based on physical characterization parameters. Results from 794 water …

Unsaturated soil mechanics, when applied to determine the soil shear strength, are crucial
for accurately evaluating the safety of geotechnical structures affected by seasonal moisture …

Rainfall erosion can cause environmental and economic damage by decreasing the storage
capacity of water reservoirs because of the detachment of soil particles. The purpose of this …

Mathematical modeling of unsaturated water seepage through soils uses the core concepts
of continuum mechanics. More precisely, it combines the continuum mass balance equation …

A caracterização adequada das propriedades de resistência ao cisalhamento de solos não
saturados é essencial para resolver uma variedade de problemas geotécnicos, incluindo a …
