Chapter 2, Problem 2.51P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The data should be plotted on logarithmic axes.

Concept introduction:

Assume x and y are two variables where y varies according to x.

The following (x,y) data are recorded,

x 0.5 1.4 84
y 2.2 4.3 6.15

So, we can draw a graph in logarithmic axes by taking x variable as the horizontal axis and y variable as the vertical axis.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The co-efficient of power law expression should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Assume x and y are two variables where y varies according to x.

The following (x,y) data are recorded,

x 0.5 1.4 84
y 2.2 4.3 6.15

So, we can draw a graph in logarithmic axes by taking x variable as the horizontal axis and y variable as the vertical axis.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The calculated line on the same plot as the data should be determined,

Concept introduction:

The plot is given as,y=axb

Where,a = 3.08 and b = 0.168.
In addition, data set is,

x 0.5 1.4 84
y 2.2 4.3 6.15

Consider the two separate sets of measured data for a silt-loam soil measured by Mualem (1976): (1) suction versus water content, and (2) suction versus relative permeability of unsaturated soil, k/ks. Assume that 0s 0.396, 0res = 0.131, and Ks=5.74×10-7 m/s. a. Using the method of least squares in Excel, compute the best-fit values for αNG (kPa¹) and nvg for the van Genuchten (1980) relationship for data set # 1 (assume m = 1-1/nvG). See the example spreadsheet in the homework folder under the files section of Canvas for help in performing this calculation. b. Repeat part (a) and estimate the λ and ac parameters for the Brooks and Corey (1964) SWRC for data set #1. Note that you may need to include an "if" statement at the air entry suction. c. Plot the data for the SWRC versus the fitted van Genuchten (1980) and Brooks and Corey (1964) curves. Which relationship matches the capillary pressure data better (BC or VG)? Explain…
