The dissertation describes a modified apparatus, testing and analytical
technique for obtaining the relationships between the coefficients of
hydraulic conductivity, capillary pressure and water content of unsaturated
soils. The apparatus and analytical technique employed in the investigation
are aimed at reducing the time duration, and improving the accuracy of
testing.
The apparatus used has been based on the design of "The Control Outflow
Method", with some modifications. (Abbreviation abstract)
