Step 1
Solution:
SWCC:
Soil-Water Characteristic Curve, simply called SWCC is the relation between the soil suction (osmotic suction, matric suction, total suction) with the volumetric water content under equilibrium conditions.
This curve is used to understand the various nature and behavior of unsaturated soil.
It is typically a sigmoidal curve in the shape for a given soil and presented either as drying or wetting SWCC.
