Evolution of meniscus structures in hydrophobic granular systems

Z Karatza, J Buckman, GM Medero, CTS Beckett - Journal of Hydrology, 2021 - Elsevier
Hydrophobic soils, which form naturally in arid regions or after forest fires, can be
problematic for land managers and engineers as they are often associated with impeded or …

Hysteretic water-retention behaviour of unsaturated hydrophobised soils

Z Zhou, AA Karimzadeh, AK Leung, SY Fok - Géotechnique, 2024 - icevirtuallibrary.com
