Abstract

The unsaturated fractions in a porous medium such as soil are the result of the process of natural humidity changes that occur in environments where both the temperature and the relative humidity of the environment are constantly changing. These processes, important in environmental geotechnics, need to be studied to predict the resistance and permeability that the porous medium may have under various scenarios. This article allows us to establish a computational model that allows us to predict the volumes of the unsaturated fraction. The predictions of the model and its contrast with the Rojas model allow us to conclude that the model can be used on a large scale to be used in engineering applications related to water flow in soils.
