Modeling Soil Shrinkage Curve across a Wide Range of Soil Types

Abstract: Knowledge about soil shrinkage improves the understanding and prediction of unsaturated hydraulic properties in nonrigid soils. Until now, there is no general model available, which is widely accepted and applied to quantify soil shrinkage curves. The objectives in this present paper are (i) to propose a new and simple model and to test it with a wide range of soil types; (ii) to mathematically distinguish the shrinkage zones; and (iii) to evaluate probable physical meaning of its parameters. The results show … Show more

“…However, other researchers (Voronin, 1980;Berezin et al, 1983) followed a thermodynamic-based approach for defining the relationships between the soil water potential and water content by using physiochemical parameters and variables. Several models were developed to define the known shrinkage phases (Figure 1) of the SSC termed structural, normal, basic and residual by identifying the inflection point of the assumed S-shape of the curve (McGarry and Malafant, 1987;Peng and Horn, 2005), transition points between the shrinkage phases which were named as: shrinkage limit point, air entry point, the macropore shrinkage limit point, and the maximum swelling point (e.g., Giráldez et al, 1983;McGarry and Daniells, 1987;McGarry and Malafant, 1987;Kim et al, 1992;Tariq and Durnford, 1993b;Braudeau et al, 1999), the curvature at the transition zones between the shrinkage phases (e.g., Olsen and Hauge, 1998;Peng and Horn, 2005), the slopes of the tangents of the transition points (Peng and Horn, 2005), and the slope of saturation line (Giráldez et al, 1983). Still, other studies (Groenevelt and Grant, 2002;Chertkov, 2003) used empirical coefficients and parameters to model the SSC.…”

“…A pórusszerkezet duzzadás hatására bekövetkező változásait a hidrológiai modellszá-mításokban elsők között GERKE és VAN GENUCHTEN (1993) vette figyelembe -az akkor általánosan alkalmazott merev (nem duzzadó) közeget feltételező számítási eljárásoktól (classical rigid approach) eltérően. A duzzadási és zsugorodási folyamatok számszerűsíthetőek például a víztartó-képességet jellemző ötparaméteres van Genuchen-egyenlet inverzét képezve (PENG & HORN, 2005;. A normalizált effektív pórustérfogat és ahhoz rendelhető telítettség összefüggését leíró függvény eltérő mértékű porozitás-változással jellemezhető tartományokra oszthatóak fel (pl.…”
