The soil-water characteristic curve generally has two primary defining points; namely: 1.) the water content and suction at the air entry value for the soil, and 2.) the water content and soil suction at residual conditions. There are also two additional points that define the extreme limits on the SWCC; namely, completely saturated conditions under zero suction (i.e., saturated water content and porosity), and completely dry conditions (i.e., zero water content and a soil suction of 1,000,000 kPa).

Is it possible to generate data points along the entire range of the SWCC if I have an estimate of the air entry value and residual conditions for a soil?

Computer modeling of a physical process in an unsaturated soil (e.g., seepage) requires that one or more unsaturated soil property functions for each soil strata. There are numerous procedures to arrive at the unsaturated soil properties. Virtually in every situation requires an initial assessment of a representative soil-water characteristic curve, SWCC, for each soil strata.

In 2008, SoilVision Systems will be attending and exhibiting at conferences across North America and in Asia. We will be exhibiting and attending the 61st Canadian Geotechnical Conference and the 9th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC Groundwater Conference. This combined event will be held from the 21st to the 24th of September.

In October, we will be attending and exhibiting at the 12th IACMAG in Goa, Indea, from the 1st to the 6th. We will also be at Tailings and Mine Waste 2008 in Vail, Colorado, from the 18th to the 23rd. Please let us know if you are in the area, we would be glad to see you!
