Simplified Relation Model of Soil Saturation Permeability Coefficient and Air-Entry Value and Its Application

Abstract: Based on the Tao and Kong (TK) model and the fractal model of the soil–water characteristic curve, a simplified model of the relationship between the saturated permeability coefficient and the air-entry value is established in this study: ks = k0ψa−2. It is shown that the saturated permeability coefficient of soil is determined by its maximum pore size. In order to facilitate the mutual prediction of saturation permeability coefficient and air-entry value, based on the data of five types of soil in the UNSODA … Show more

“…Generally, geomaterials can be regarded as an open non-linear self-organizing system. When there are no external conditions to interfere with its self-organizing characteristics, the evolution of internal spatial structure exhibits certain orderliness [32][33][34][35]. The fractal structure is closely related to its composition and natural conditions: the fractal dimension represents the spatial structure characteristics formed by the long-term evolution of geomaterials.…”

“…The determination of soil air-entry value is of important meaning to explore the permeability of unsaturated soil. Soils with different textures have different air-entry values; for example, the air-entry value of clay is larger than sand [63]. Rawls et al [64] provided a series of typical air-entry values for soils with different textures (Table 1).…”
