A critical review of soil moisture measurement
TL;DR: A critical review of all the established and emerging soil moisture measurement techniques with respect to their merits and demerits is presented in this article, where the authors highlight the importance of various innovations based on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and nano-sensors emerging in this context.

An insight into the water retention properties of compacted clayey soils
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model for water retention domain is proposed, which introduces a dependence of the intra-aggregate pore volume on water content, and the model succeeds in tracking correctly the evolution of the hydraulic state of the different soils investigated along generalised hydromechanical paths.

A model to predict the water retention curve from basic geotechnical properties
TL;DR: The water retention curve (WRC) has become a key material function to define the unsaturated behavior of soils and other particulate media as discussed by the authors, and in many instances, it can be useful to have an estimate o...

Influence of Stress State on Soil-Water Characteristics and Slope Stability
Charles Wang Wai Ng,Yue-wai Pang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new stress controllable pressure plate was developed to investigate the influence on the stress state on the soil-water characteristics, and the effects of K0 stress conditions on the SWCCs of an undisturbed volcanic soil in Hong Kong were determined and illustrated.
An insight into the water retention properties of compacted clayey soils
TL;DR: Experimental data from different testing methodologies on different compacted clayey soils, with dominant bimodal pore size distribution, are presented and analyzed, to provide a comprehensive pict... as mentioned in this paper.

Influence of Clods on the Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Clay
Craig H. Benson,David E. Daniel +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the influence of clod size on the hydraulic conductivity of compacted clay and found that clods size during soil processing and compaction significantly influenced the compaction curve.
