Understanding the interaction between soil, vegetation and atmosphere processes and groundwater dynamics is of paramount importance in water resources planning and management in many practical applications. Hydrological models of complex water resources systems need to include a number of components and should therefore seek a balance between capturing all relevant processes and maintaining dat...

In general, the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of shallow foundations on unsaturated soils is characterized by conventional shear strength (SS) parameters in which saturated theories are applied. However, this case, it clear that designed using obtained values from cases not be economical. recent years, procedures have been developed to estimate UBC soils, take into account drained and undrain...

Capillary rise is a phenomenon that must be considered an inevitable factor when dealing with unsaturated gypseous soil. This study investigates the behavior of soil under capillary action, where different gypsum content and densities are experimentally tested in developed laboratory model consisting Transparent pipes 1 m long 0.05 diameter. All placed inside rectangular basin dimension (1500×5...
