Shrinkage anisotropy characteristics from soil structure and initial sample/layer size
V. Y. Chertkov
The objective of this work is a physical prediction of such soil shrinkage anisotropy characteristics as variation with drying of (i) different sample/layer sizes and (ii) the shri…
The geometry of soil crack networks
V. Y. Chertkov
The subject of this work is the modification and specification of an approach to detail the estimation of soil crack network characteristics. The modification aims at accounting fo…
Water retention of rigid soils from a two-factor model for clay
V. Y. Chertkov
Water retention is one of the key soil characteristics. Available models of soil water retention relate to the curve-fitting type. The objective of this work is to suggest a physic…
Two-Factor Model of Soil Suction from Capillarity, Shrinkage, Adsorbed Film, and Intra-aggregate Structure
V. Y. Chertkov
The objective of this work is to derive the soil water retention from the soil structure without curve-fitting and only using the physical parameters found irrespective of an exper…
Physical modeling of the soil swelling curve vs. the shrinkage curve
V. Y. Chertkov
Physical understanding of the links between soil swelling, texture, structure, cracking, and sample size is of great interest for the physical understanding of many processes in th…
An integrated approach to soil structure, shrinkage, and cracking in samples and layers
V. Y. Chertkov
A recent model showed how a clay shrinkage curve is step-by-step transformed into the shrinkage curve of an aggregated soil at any clay content if it is measured on samples so smal…
