Abstract: Saturated hydraulic conductivity for clays predicted using the conventional Kozeny–Carman equation is scalar and found to diverge significantly from measured values. The divergence is consistent and systematic requiring a ...

Abstract: A new equation for effective stress is derived from a physically based approach of force balance on submerged granular particles. The Euler cut principle and the Euler’s first law of mechanics are used to analyze the ...

Abstract: Unsaturated soil hydraulic parameters and functions used in numerical models to simulate water flow and solute transport in the unsaturated zone are generally considered invariant of soil water salinity levels. This study ...

Abstract: This study uses five years of field data from the Land Retirement Demonstration Project located in western Fresno County of California to develop a comprehensive theoretical and numerical modeling framework to evaluate the ...
