Many residual and colluvial soils show bimodal grain-size distribution (GSD). Some soils with bimodal characteristic of GSD result in bimodal characteristic of soil-water cahracteristic curve (SWCC), whereas others result in unimodal characteristic of SWCC. Modelling GSD and SWCC with a continuous f...
