Assessment of the impact of climate change on an instrumented embankment: an unsaturated soil mechanics approach
… comprises embankments and cuttings built with soil material in an unsaturated state that is exposed to the climate. The BIONICS project (BIOlogical and eNgineering Impacts of Climate change on Slopes) aims to investigate how climate change will affect the serviceability and safety of earth …

An Experimental Study on Soil Water Characteristics and Hydraulic Conductivity of Compacted Soils
The importance of applying unsaturated soil mechanics concepts to geotechnical engineering design has been widely recognized. Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) are vital soil properties that govern engineering behavior of unsaturated soils. In this …

Improvements and reliability of MIT tensiometers and studies on soil moisture characteristic curves
Soil Moisture Characteristic (SMC) curves are widely used in unsaturated soil mechanics and agricultural engineering. A SMC curve is the relation between the soil suction (tension in the pore water) and the water content (ratio of amount of water to solid particles, preferably by mass). Until now, …

Quantification of wildfire-induced perturbations to soil-water retention curves and their impact on rainfall runoff
… to these hazards requires understanding which soil properties are most strongly affected by wildfire and what role these changes play in runoff generation and debris-flow initiation. Previous studies have shown significant post-fire perturbations to saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and …
