Hydro-pedotransfer functions (PTFs) relate easy-to-measure and readily available soil
information to soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) for applications in a wide range of process …

The subgrade soil is generally in saturated or unsaturated condition. To analyze complex
thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) behaviors of subgrade, it is essential to …

To identify the mechanisms that caused landslides during the construction of the Jilin-
Hunchun high-speed railway line in Yanji, China, the engineering properties of weathered …

Soil structure, which refers to aggregates and pore characteristics, reflects the spatial
arrangement of soil particles and is a key component for crop yield and soil health. Well …

The creep deformation of expansive soil has been considered as a vital threat to the safety
in engineering construction because it may cause serious slope diseases in geological …

Soil water stable isotopes are widely used across disciplines (eg, hydrology, ecology, soil
science, and biogeochemistry). However, the full potential of stables isotopes as a tool for …

Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) is a simple and fast way to obtain the pore distribution of
soil and can be used to estimate the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC). In previous …

Biochar has been globally recognized as a soil amendment to ameliorate the degraded soil
structures. We investigated the different biochar percentages contributed to the changes in …

An average size of pores and pore-size distribution (POSD) is often required for advanced
constitutive models for soils adopted for hydro-mechanical-thermal coupled problems. There …

Semi-continuum modelling of unsaturated porous media flow is based on representing the
porous medium as a grid of non-infinitesimal blocks that retain the character of a porous …
