title = "Study of infiltration characteristics in the field",
abstract = "Infiltration characteristics of a single-layer soil and a two-layer soil were investigated in this study by conducting small-scale field infiltration tests and numerical analyses. The field infiltration tests were conducted using double-ring infiltrometers, where the water pressure head was maintained throughout the tests. Changes in pore-water pressure during the tests were measured using tensiometers installed at various depths in the soil. Simulations of the field infiltration tests were performed using a finite element program. The hydraulic properties of the soils used in the simulation were measured independently in the laboratory. The results showed that the difference in the hydraulic properties of the two-layer soil caused a delay in the downward water flow into the lower soil layer. The numerical simulation results and the field infiltration test results were found to be in reasonably good agreement. Copyright ASCE 2006.",
