In this paper, we present a constitutive model to describe unsaturated flow that considers the hysteresis phenomena. This constitutive model provides simple mathematical expressions for both saturation and hydraulic ...

A slope stability model is derived for an infinite slope subjected to unsaturated infiltration flow above a phreatic surface. Closed form steady state solutions are derived for the matric suction and degree of saturation ...

A major contaminant transport process in soils is hydrodynamic dispersion by affecting the spreading and arrival of surface-applied pollutants at underlying groundwater reservoirs. When a soil is unsaturated, hydrodynamic ...

This paper describes the effect of acid leaching on the hydrodynamic properties of agglomerated copper tailings. Both the suction and the hydraulic conductivity curves were obtained before and after acid application in ...

The unsaturated hydraulic properties provide important theoretical and practical information about fluid flow in soils and rocks for a range of soil, environmental and engineering applications. In this study we used the ...

The main goal of this work is to understand how the main processing variables are affected when glass fibers are replaced by natural fibers in reinforced plastics. In this publication, a jute fabric was characterized in ...
