    Ks estimates using macroscopic capillary length estimated from soil hydraulic shape coefficients and Haverkamp infiltration model

    Yilmaz, Deniz; Sağlam, Mustafa; İç, Serkan; Stewart, Ryan D.; Lassabatere, Laurent

    In this study, we developed a new general approach to estimate the macroscopic capillary length (λc) using different hydraulic function models and related shape parameters, along with the Haverkamp infiltration model constant. We next applied this new approach to the van Genuchten model coupled with a Burdine condition (vGB) to estimate λc. Then, we applied the new λc computation to three different methods for estimating saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), and analyzed two sets of constant infiltration data: 1) an analytically generated Beerkan-type dataset and 2) constant head and Beerkan-type infiltration tests performed at the Ambarköprü Experimental Station of Blacksea Agricultural Research Institute in Samsun, Turkey. Our new approach provided accurate Ks estimates when applied to the analytical Beerkan infiltration data. The highest error was observed for a silt soil, with 30 % error for one formulation versus <15 % for the others. For synthetic coarse-textured soils such loamy sand and sandy loam, the error was <10 %. For the field data and Beerkan-type experiments, the new approach gave consistent estimates of Ks regardless of analytical interpretation. However, ANOVA analysis revealed that Ks varied between different infiltration test types, with constant head infiltrometry with 5 cm of applied water head having greater Ks values than the Beerkan tests (p < 0.05). Estimated Ks values also differed between land use types (p < 0.01), with a maize field having significantly greater Ks compared to a soybean field. Overall, we conclude that the proposed approach represents an efficient and appropriate method for characterizing point-scale saturated hydraulic conductivity, so long as experimental artifacts such as ring insertion deep and preferential flows are considered.

    Parameterizing Haverkamp Model From the Steady-State of Numerically Generated Infiltration: Influence of Algorithms for Steady-State Selection

    Autovino, Dario; Bagarello, Vincenzo; Iovino, Massimo; Lassabatere, Laurent; Yilmaz, Deniz

    BEST (Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer parameters) methods of soil hydraulic characterisation are widely applied for estimating sorptivity, S, and saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks. Calculating these properties requires choosing the β and γ parameters of the Haverkamp infiltration model. These parameters can be obtained from numerically simulated three-dimensional (3D) infiltration runs reaching steady-state. This investigation tested dependence of the estimated β and γ parameters on the algorithm for steady-state selection using simulated 3D cumulative infiltrations for different soils and initial conditions. Two algorithms used the original simulation outputs and included using (i) a threshold defining steadiness (T-algorithm) and (ii) the last four data points, yielding a reference value of steady-state infiltration rate (R-algorithm). A third algorithm, similar to the R-algorithm, was applied to previously re-sampled infiltration data at fixed time intervals (RR-algorithm). The intercept, bs, of the straight line fitted to the data describing steady-state on the cumulative infiltration plot depended on the applied algorithm more than the slope of this line. Consequently, β varied with the applied algorithm more than γ. The RR-algorithm, yielding 0.62 ≤ β ≤ 1.99 and 0.74 ≤ γ ≤ 0.98, was preferred since it mediated between advantages and disadvantages of T- and R-algorithms. The influence of the choice of proper values for β and γ on the estimates of S and Ks was evaluated using BEST. Using the default values of β (0.6) and γ (0.75) yielded accurate estimates of S but not of Ks. Soil dependent β and γ values should be used in this case. A check of the reliability of the estimates of bs can be made by a sequential analysis of the cumulative infiltration data. Future developments include considering sources differing in size and establishing if the suggested β and γ values apply in general to the available BEST algorithms.

    Three-term formulation to describe infiltration in water-repellent soils

    Yilmaz, Deniz; Di Prima, Simone; Stewart, Ryan D.; Abou Najm, Majdi R.; Fernandez-Moret, David; Latorre, Borja; Lassabatere, Laurent

    Modeling infiltration in water-repellent soils is difficult, as the underlying processes remain poorly quantified. However, recent work has adapted the Beerkan Soil Transfer Parameter (BEST) algorithm to include an exponential correction term for characterizing these types of soils. The original BEST-WR (WR = Water Repellent) method used a two-term approximate expansion of the Haverkamp quasi-exact implicit model. However, the BEST-WR method can have considerable inaccuracy, particularly as the time of infiltration and the soil water repellency increase. Here, we extended the BEST-WR model by adapting a three-term approximation of the Haverkamp quasi-exact implicit model to water-repellent soils. We then tested the new method using analytical data. For highly water-repellent soils, the proposed method had better performance when estimating soil sorptivity (S) and soil saturated conductivity (Ks), with respective errors of less than 1.5 % and 8 %, compared to relative errors of more than 10 % and 30 % with the two-term BEST-WR method. We also tested both approaches with experimental data. The two methods provided similar estimates for hydraulic parameters, with linear correlations between methods of R2 = 0.84 for S and R2 = 0.88 for Ks. Initial infiltration was not well modeled by either the two-term or three-term model for 33 tests, thus revealing limitations in the applied exponential model that we used to account for soil repellency. Nonetheless, the proposed three-term expression provided better fits than the two-term model for most of the infiltration runs, meaning that this new approach is more robust when modeling infiltration processes in water-repellent soils.

    Sequential infiltration analysis of infiltration curves measured with disc infiltrometer in layered soils

    Moret-Fernández, D.; Latorre, B.; Lassabatere, L.; Di Prima, S.; Castellini, M.; Yilmaz, D.; Angulo-Jaramilo, R.

    The soil sorptivity, S, and saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, can be estimated from the inverse analysis of a cumulative infiltration curve using the quasi-exact implicit (QEI) formulation or its corresponding 4-Terms (4T) approximation. Although these models consider the soil as homogeneous media, there is no information about how heterogeneous profiles can affect the inferred soil properties. This work analyzes the influence of layered soils on Ks and S estimates using QEI and 4T models, and designs a new procedure for treating infiltration curves measured on layered soil profiles. The Sequential Infiltration Analysis (SIA) method considers a sequence of increasing time series from the cumulative infiltration data to estimate Ks and S, and its corresponding RMSE as a function of the number of samples used. A procedure to estimate the thickness of the upper uniform soil layer from the estimated wetting front advance (WFA) is also reported. The SIA method was applied on: (i) synthetic homogeneous profiles of loam soil and six layered profiles involving a 1, 2 and 3 cm thickness loam layer over silty or sandy loam soils, respectively, (ii) stratified laboratory soil columns, and (iii) 20 experimental infiltrations performed in a semiarid region of North-Eastern Spain. Similar results were found between QEI and 4T models for all cases. Erroneous estimates of Ks and S were observed when the total infiltration time series was considered for the analysis, regardless of the presence of soil layering. In opposite, estimates improved when the SIA method was applied to the layered systems. The SIA method exploits the fact that the RMSE increases when the wetting front reaches the interface between the soil layers. Such increase allows: (i) detection of the soil heterogeneity, (ii) determination of the infiltration time, to, required for the wetting front to reach the lower layer, and, (iii) accurate estimates of the upper layer Ks and S along with its thickness. Laboratory experiments on layered soils and field measurements demonstrated that the SIA method could be satisfactorily applied on different curves with contrasting shapes and magnitudes. Although soil layering encountered on most field samplings restricted the treatment of the observed infiltrations to short-medium times, the SIA method allowed robust estimates of Ks and S. These results indicate that the proposed method is a promising tool for characterizing the hydraulic properties of layered and heterogeneous soil profiles.

    Effect of Fly Ash and Silica Fume on compressive strength, sorptivity and carbonation of SCC

    Turk, Kazim; Karatas, Mehmet; Gonen, Tahir

    In this paper, ASTM C 618 Class F Fly Ash (FA) at 25%, 30%, 35% and 40% and Silica Fume (SF) at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% replacement of Portland Cement (PC) CEM I 42.5 in SCC was used to evaluate the effect of types and quantity of powder additions on compressive strength and permeations properties of SCC. To this end, eight types of SCC were designed, in comparison with Vibrated Traditional Concrete (VTC). The results indicated that SCC specimens with SF15 had the highest compressive strength with 73.87 MPa for 130 days. The sorptivity values of SCC specimens with FA and SF were lower than those of VTC specimens regardless of type and quantity of powder additions. On the other hand, the carbonation resistance of VTC was higher than that of SCC specimens containing both SF and FA for all accelerated carbonation periods. Consequently, it can be said that type and quantity of powder additions had an important effect on the correlation among the compressive strength and permeation properties of SCC.
