Singapore’s land comprises mostly residual soils. The residual soil from the Bukit Timah granitic formation is often found in an unsaturated condition. Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of the soil shows how weathering grade has affected the pore-size distribution of the residual soil. The obje...
