Prediction of hydraulic and petrophysical parameters from indirect measurements of electrical resistivity to determine soil-water retention curve – studies in granular soils
Abstract:The characterization of unsaturated soils using hydromechanical methods is an essential requirement in soil science. However, current laboratory techniques used to obtain soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves are time-consuming. To address this issue, a method based on indirect measures (electrical resistivity/electrical conductivity) was developed to quantitatively characterize soils. A novel unsaturated semi-empirical hydrogeophysical model of soils was developed by incorporating… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
