Discussion “Determination of the Hydraulic Conductivity Function of a Highly Compressible Material Based on Tests with Saturated Samples”

چکیده
The discussers have read this paper with considerable interest and, like the authors and many others, they have also observed that compressibility can significantly influence the unsaturated properties of soft materials. Obtaining valuable experimental results on these types of materials is quite a challenge, and the authors should be commended for their effort to measure the WRC of deinking residues. The results and analysis presented in their paper have nevertheless raised some questions.

Treated wastewater may influence soil structure, porosity and as a consequence, soil saturated hydraulic conductivity. This study aims to assess the effect of wastewater on saturated hydraulic conductivity; and to determine the suitable soil solids fractal dimension to incorporate into the pedotransfer function by Rawls et al (1993) for estimation of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks). Soi...
متن کاملScaling and Fractal Concepts in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity: Comparison of Some Models
Measurement of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, is normally affected by flow patterns such as macro pore; however, most current techniques do not differentiate flow types, causing major problems in describing water and chemical flows within the soil matrix. This study compares eight models for scaling Ks and predicted matrix and macro pore Ks, using a database composed of 50 datasets...
