The saturation degree stays equal to one: \[S_w = 1\]

\[S_w = S_{r,field}-CSW1\left(\frac{s}{CSW3}\right)^{CSW2}\] The suction is defined as $s=p_a-p_w$ and $CSR3$ can be taken equal to $\rho_w.g.C^{ste}$.

\[ -\frac{s}{\rho_wg} = \begin{cases} -10.214\exp(-15.27S_w+6.062) & \quad \text{if } 0.1<S_w<1 \\ -10.214\exp(314.84S_w^2-78.24S_w+9.21) & \quad \text{if } 0<S_w<0.1 \end{cases}\]

\[ S_e(p_c)= \begin{cases} CSR3+\left(1+\left(\frac{p_c}{CSR1}\right)^{\frac{1}{1-CSR2}}\right)^{-CSR2} & \quad \text{if } p_c>0 \\ 1 & \quad \text{if } p_c \leq 0 \end{cases}\]

\[S_w = \begin{cases} CSR1 * ln\left(\frac{s}{10^6}\right) +CSR2 & \quad \text{if } 0.26 \text{ MPa}<s<222\text{ MPa} \\ S_{res} & \quad \text{if } s>222 \text{ MPa} \\ S_{r,field} & \quad \text{if } s<0.26 \text{ MPa}\end{cases}\]

\[S_w = S_{res} + (S_{max}-S_{res})\left(1+\left(\frac{s}{CSR1}\right)^{CSR2}\right)^{-\left(1-\frac{1}{CSR2}\right)}\]

\[S_w = S_{res}+\frac{CSR3*(S_{r,field}-S_{res})}{CSR3+(CSR1*s)^{CSW2}}\]

\[S_w=\frac{CSR1 \log(s*10^{-6})+CSR2}{100} \\ \text{If } S_w<S_{res} \Rightarrow S_w = S_{res} \\ \text{If } S_w>S_{r,field} \Rightarrow S_w = S_{r,field}\]

\[S_w=\frac{CSR3}{\pi}\arctan\left(-\frac{s+CSR2}{CSR1}\right)+\frac{CSR3}{2}\]

\[S_w= \left(1+ \frac{p_w}{p_a}\right)*S_{r,field}*\frac{1}{1+\frac{p_w}{p_a}*S_{r,field}*(1-HENRY)}\]

\[S_w= CSW3*\left(\frac{\arctan\left(-(s+CSW2)/CSW1\right)}{\pi}+0.5\right)\]

\[COEFM = 1-\frac{}{CSW2}\] \[S_w= \left(\left(1+\left(\frac{s}{CSW3}\right)^{COEFM}\right)^{-CSW1}\right)*\left(1-\frac{s}{CSW4}\right)^{CSW2}\]

\[COEFM = 1-\frac{}{CSW2}\] \[SATUR = (1-CSW3-CSW4)*(1D0+(PC/CSW1)**CSW2)**(-COEFM)+CSW3\]

Parameter correspondance:

CSW2=$s_{hys}$
CSW3=$\theta_T$

CSW5=RETINI

An elasto-plastic approach is used to describe the curve of retention of the soil. This implies two plastic mechanisms: → A mechanism activated during drying $f_{dry}=s-s_d=0$ → A mechanism activated during the wetting $f_{wet}=s_d s_{hys} - s=0$ Where $s_d$ is the drying limit and $s_{hys}$ is a parameter defining the opening of the hydric hysteresis. When a mechanism is activated, $s_d$ evolves according to the following exponential law: $s_d=s_{d0}\exp(-\beta_h \Delta S_w)$

The effects of mechanical deformation and of temperature on the retention curve are considered through the evolution of the entering air suction: \[s_e=s_{e0}\exp(-\beta \Delta S_w)\left[1-\theta_T\log(T/T_0)-\theta_e \log(1-\varepsilon_v)\right]\] In order to characterize the initial degree of saturation inside the hydric hysteresis, the RETINI parameter is used. At the initial state, for a given suction, if RETINI = 0, the point is on the drying curve; if RETINI = 1, the point is on the wetting curve. RETINI can also take a value between 0 and 1. In that case, the saturation degree is determined using a linear interpolation between the drying curve and the wetting curve.

Parameter correspondance:
CSW1=$s_{D0}$
CSW2=$\kappa_H$
CSW3=$\beta_H$
CSW4=$\pi_H$
CSW5=RETINI

The water retention curve is modeled using an elasto-plastic approach with kinematic hardening (ACMEG-s model, LMS, EPFL) The yield surface delimiting the elastic domain takes the following form: \[f=\left\Vert ln\left(\frac{s}{s_D}\right)+\frac{1}{2}ln\left(\frac{s_{D0}}{s_{eH}}\right)\right\Vert - \frac{1}{2} ln \left(\frac{s_{D0}}{s_{eH}}\right)\] The saturation degree $S_w$ can be decomposed in an elastic part $S_w^e$ and a plastic part $S_w^p$: \[S_w = S_w^e+S_w^p\] The elastic part is defined by parameter $\kappa_H$ \[S_w^e=1- \frac{1}{\kappa_H}ln\frac{s}{s_{eH}}\] The plastic part is defined by: \[S_w^p=S_w^D-\frac{1}{\beta_H}\ln\frac{s}{s_D}\] The saturation degree cannot be higher than 1 or lower than $S_{res}$.

The entering air suction $s_{eH}$ evolves with the total volumic deformation: \[s_{eH}=s_e+\pi_H*\varepsilon_v\] In order to characterize the initial degree of saturation inside the hydric hysteresis, the RETINI parameter is used. At the initial state, for a given suction, if RETINI = 0, the point is on the drying curve; if RETINI = 1, the point is on the wetting curve. RETINI can also take a value between 0 and 1. In that case, the saturation degree is determined using a linear interpolation between the drying curve and the wetting curve.

\[S_w = \begin{cases} 1 & \quad \text{if } s < \text{AIREV} \\ S_{res}+(S_{max}-S_{res})\left(1+\left(\frac{s-AIREV}{CSR1}\right)^{CSR2}\right)^{-\left(1-\frac{1}{CSR2}\right)} & \quad \text{if } s > \text{AIREV} \end{cases}\]

\[SATUR = SRES+(SRFIELD-SRES)*(1D0+(PC/PR)**CSW2)**(-COEFM)\]

\[COEFM = ONE-ONE/CSW2\] \[SATUR = (ONE+(PC/CSW1)**CSW2)**(-COEFM)*(ONE-PC/CSW3)**CSW4\]

For laws WADUA, CLEATF and WPROG. (François BERTRAND).

\[COEFM = 1-\frac{1}{CSW2}\] \[S_w = S_{res}+(S_{r,field}-S_{res})*\left(1+\left(\frac{s-AEPT}{CSW1}\right)^{CSW2}\right)^{-COEFM}\]

\[e_w=e_{wM}+e_{wm}\] \[e_w=e_m \exp \left(-(C_{ads}s)^{n_{ads}}\right) + (e-e_m) \left[1+\left( (e-e_m)\frac{s}{A}\right)^n\right]^{-m} \] \[S_r=\frac{e_w}{n}\] $n$=porosity
CSR1 = $A$
CSR2 = $m$
CSR3 = $n$
CSR4 = $C_{ads}$
CSR5 = $n_{ads}$

\[SATUR = DEXP(-PC/CSW1)\]

\[S_w = 1 * \left(1+\left(\frac{s}{CSR1}\right)^{CSR2}\right)^{CSR3}\] \[S_{w,mic} = 1 * \left(1+\left(\frac{s}{CSR4}\right)^{CSR2}\right)^{CSR5}\]

\[S_w = S_{res} + (S_{max}-S_{res})\left(1+\left(\frac{s}{CSR1}\right)^{CSR2}\right)^{CSR3}\]

The main water retention curves (d=drying, w=wetting) are, according to the Van Genuchten model: \[S_{ed} = S_{res} + (S_{max}-S_{res}) \left[1 + \left(\frac{s}{a_d}\right)^{n_d}\right]^{-m_d}\] \[S_{ew} = S_{res} + (S_{max}-S_{res}) \left[1 + \left(\frac{s}{a_w}\right)^{n_w}\right]^{-m_w}\]

The hysteresis is then defined by: \[\frac{\partial S_{es}}{\partial s} (\text{wetting}) = \left(\frac{s_w}{s}\right)^b\left(\frac{\partial S_{ew}}{\partial s}\right) \text{ with } s_w = a_w \left(S_e^{-1/m_w}\right)^{1/n_w}\] \[\frac{\partial S_{es}}{\partial s} (\text{drying}) = \left(\frac{s_d}{s}\right)^{-b}\left(\frac{\partial S_{ed}}{\partial s}\right) \text{ with } s_d = a_d \left(S_e^{-1/m_d}\right)^{1/n_d}\]

And therefore: \[S_e^{t+1} = S_e^t + \left(\frac{\partial S_{es}}{\partial s}\right)\times ds\]

The ISR=53 parameters are: CSRW1=$a_d$, CSRW2=$n_d$, CSRW3=$a_w$, CSRW4=$n_w$ and CSRW5=$b$.
