The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and permeability function are critical parameters for understanding the hydraulic behavior of unsaturated soils and are increasingly relevant in evaluating ...

Examples of upscaling phenomena with experimental techniques are presented and discussed within the framework of compacted soils for hydraulic and environmental earthworks and engineered barriers for ...

Soil testing is a foundational step in construction, directly impacting the stability, safety, and durability of any structure. Before breaking ground on any major project—whether it’s a high-rise ...

Serious desertification problems were found in alpine grassland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. The rehabilitation progress of degraded grassland is slow under natural conditions that have low ...
