Additional information

Numerical modelling of multiphase materials is introduced as a means of designing laboratory testing, in this instance, the notoriously long and sensitive Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC) tests. This is not commonly seen in the literature and one of the reviewers characterised the paper as 'unique'. A system for the dynamic SWRC testing is designed and the hysteretic water retention behaviour of the soil studied. There are relatively limited experimental data in the literature regarding this aspect of the SWRC, although it is necessary for the advanced constitutive modelling of unsaturated soils.
