Innovative Overview of SWRC Application in Modeling Geotechnical Engineering Problems
The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a fundamental feature of unsaturated soil that simply shows the relationship between soil suction and water content (in terms of the degree of saturation and volumetric or gravimetric water content). In this study, the applications of the SWRC or SWCC have been extensively reviewed, taking about 403 previously published research studies into consideration. This was achieved on the basis of classification-based problems and application-based problems, which solve the widest array of geotechnical engineering problems relevant to and correlating with SWRC geo-structural behavior. At the end of the exercises, the SWRC geo-structural problem-solving scope, as covered in the theoretical framework, showed that soil type, soil parameter, measuring test, predictive technique, slope stability, bearing capacity, settlement, and seepage-based problems have been efficiently solved by proffering constitutive and artificial intelligence solutions to earthwork infrastructure; and identified matric suction as the most influential parameter. Finally, a summary of these research findings and key challenges and opportunities for future tentative research topics is proposed.
