DOI: 10.1007/s11368-018-2054-8
Abstract: PurposeDetermining the hydraulic conductivity of low permeable fine-grained soils is difficult and time-consuming. This work develops a new method with an eye to the pore morphology to correlate hydraulic conductivity with pore-size distribution (PSD) parameters… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2019.106029
Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a new procedure for the characterisation of the dynamic mechanical properties of unsaturated fine-grained soils (i.e., dynamic shear modulus and phase angle). The procedure uses a rheometer, which is a conventional… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17486025.2018.1445872
Abstract: ABSTRACT The soil water retention characteristics curve (SWRC) has been reported to be quite useful for estimation of unsaturated soil properties. However, the uniqueness of SWRC is questionable due to hysteresis associated with the drying-… read more here.
