Fig. 3. The shrinkage curves from Reeve and Hall's six soils modeled by Eq. [10]. (a) Faulkbourne Bw, Faulkbourne Btg and Ragdale, (b) Wyre Bw, Wyre Bg and Faldbury. The square point (
z, ez) is the end-point from residual shrinkage to zero shrinkage; the cross point (d, ed) is the dry-side maximum of the curvature; the diamond point (p, ep) is the end-point from the proportional shrinkage to residual shrinkage; the plus point (w, ew) is the end-point from structural shrinkage to proportional shrinkage.
