TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear, least squares computer program is used to determine the best-fit parameters for experimental data presented in the literature, based on the assumption that the shape of the soil-water characteristic curve is dependent upon the pore-size distribution.
Abstract: The soil-water characteristic curve can be used to estimate various parameters used to describe unsaturated soil behaviour. A general equation for the soil-water characteristic curve is proposed. A nonlinear, least-squares computer program is used to determine the best-fit parameters for experimental data presented in the literature. The equation is based on the assumption that the shape of the soil-water characteristic curve is dependent upon the pore-size distribution of the soil (i.e., the desaturation is a function of the pore-size distribution). The equation has the form of an integrated frequency distribution curve. The equation provides a good fit for sand, silt, and clay soils over the entire suction range from 0 to 106 kPa. Key words : soil-water characteristic curve, pore-size distribution, nonlinear curve fitting, soil suction, water content.

TL;DR: In this paper, the three primary sources of geotechnical uncertainties are inherent variability, measurem, and measurem uncertainties, and the three main sources of variability are measurem and inherent variability.
Abstract: Geotechnical variability is a complex attribute that results from many disparate sources of uncertainties. The three primary sources of geotechnical uncertainties are inherent variability, measurem...

TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from a saturated soil to an unsaturated soil is described in terms of two independent stress state variables, i.e., the shear strength of unsaturated and saturated soil.
Abstract: The shear strength of an unsaturated soil is written in terms of two independent stress state variables. One form of the shear strength equation isThe transition from a saturated soil to an unsatur...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that shear strength data from the research literature suggests that there is a nonlinear increase in the strength of unsaturated soils in the presence of saturated soils.
Abstract: Experimental studies on unsaturated soils are generally costly, time-consuming, and difficult to conduct. Shear strength data from the research literature suggests that there is a nonlinear increas...

TL;DR: In this paper, runout analyses are used for risk assessment and design of remedial measures against rapid landslides such as debris flows, debris avalanches, rockslide avalanches and large-scale liquefaction failure.
