It is well known that both the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) of unsaturated soils are hysteretic. Modeling the hysteresis behavior of unsaturated soil is crucial for understanding the hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil and solving geotechnical...
