| Description | Kitamura et al.(1998) proposed a numerical model for seepage through unsaturated soil. In the model voids and soil particles in a small soil element are modeled by pipe and other impermeable parts respectively. The void ratio, water content, unsaturated-saturated permeability coefficient and suction can be derived from the model based on some probabilistic consideration. In order to prove the validity of the proposed model, the unsaturated permeability test and the water retention test were simultaneously carried out by a steady state type's permeability test apparatus which was newly manufactured in our laboratory. The numerical experiment and permeability test on unsaturated soil were carried out in parallel for Toyoura sand and Shirasu. The soils were sampled in Kagoshima Prefecture which is located in the southern part of Kyushu Island, Japan. From the comparison of the results obtained by the numerical experiment with those obtained by the laboratory test it was found out that the proposed model could simulate the seepage behavior of pore water through unsaturated soil.
