The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a
fundamental feature of unsaturated soil that simply shows the relationship between 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 …

This paper investigates the evolution of the soil-water characteristic curve (moisture content-
suction relationships, SWCC), soil shrinkage characteristic curve (moisture content-void ratio …

This paper presents a comprehensive experimental investigation on shrinkage and soil-
water retention behaviour at macroscale and microscale of four natural Australian soils upon …

This study evaluates the effect of nanoparticles on the desiccation induced shrinkage of clay
mixed with two different nanoparticles (ie, nano-CuO and γ-Al 2 O 3). The soil specimens …

The practice of geotechnical engineering in tropical climate regions must consider the use of
unsaturated soil concepts. However, these concepts must also take into account the specific …

Studies on rainfall-induced landslides are essential for protecting the lives and property in
hilly regions. Augmented numerical investigation considering geotechnical, geological, and …

The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential parameter for studying the
mechanical properties of unsaturated tailings, and it plays an important role in stability …

Montmorillonite-rich clays such as bentonites are extensively used in many engineering
applications. Determination of volumetric shrinkage behavior is important for the analysis of …

This paper presents suction measurements in case of unsaturated soils using a
commercially available water potential sensor. The sensor uses ceramic discs of …
