Estimating Water Retention Characteristics of Sands from Grain Size Distribution using Idealized Packing Conditions

A new approach is presented for estimating the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of granular porous media along a drainage path using the relatively simple measurements of grain size distribution (GSD) and mass-volume relationships (void ratio). GSD measured using mechanical sieve analysis is c...
