| Summary: | Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) as an important component of unsaturated
soil investigation to determine soil shear strength, permeability and volume change.
The curve, which contains the variable moisture content versus matric suction,
takes a long time to develop through laboratory research. Moreover, it consists of
two types, namely drying and wetting curves. Therefore, a special method is needed
to predict one of the curves in order to cut down the research time to create this
curve based on the data of the other curve through the mathematically or
numerically derived equation of Fredlund and Xing 1994. The object of this
research is for the shale soil in Cisomang. Through the formulation of
mathematical, numerical, and correlation equations, as well as some literature
data, the prediction for one of the SWCC curves for that type of soil can be
determined with the results showing some errors, especially at high matric suction. |
