AB  - Previous works related to the application of the multifractal theory for analyzing the grain size distribution (GSD), showed the potential of this approach to deal with this complex issue. However, absence of the practical application of this kind of statistical analysis raised some doubts among the soil scientists. Compared to the experimental dry sieving method, which is based on mass representations of different grain sizes, the approach presented in this work relies on the analysis of grain densities (density indicators) scanned by means of X-ray CT (Computed Tomography). By reducing the resolution of the scanned soil image(s), the cumulative representation of solid particles equal to or larger than the actual discretization element can be determined, and described analytically by means of the universal multifractals (UM). For validation of the new UM approach, the X-ray CT results of three different soils were used: the volcanic substrate covering Green Wave (a green roof of Champs-sur-Marne in France), and two horizons of the soil collected from the low land mountain area of Sierra de Guadarrama in Spain. Comparison between the proposed UM model and the experimental data of these three materials confirms that the GSD can be reasonably well predicted from the scanned images of soils covering wide range of grain sizes. The UM model, unlike the fractal-based models, accounts for fractal dimension that depends on grain size, and hence, based on the preliminary results presented in this work, it could be rather useful in case of multi-modal soils whose GSD curves are described with multiple fractal dimensions.

AB  - Based on tests carried out on a specific device allowing to determine the water retention and transport properties of granular media at low suctions, an alternative approach to Kunze and Kirkham’s method of accounting for the impedance effects due to the high air entry value ceramic disk when using Gardner’s method is proposed. Impedance effects are accounted for by proposing analytical solutions to the equations governing water transfers occurring within the specimen and the ceramic disk. By using some experimental data obtained on a volcanic granular substrate used for urban green roofs, the method is successfully compared to Kunze and Kirkham’s graphical method. Its advantages are to be simpler of use and not operator dependent. A detailed examination of the performance of our method compared to those of Gardner and Kunze and Kirkham is carried out based on experimental data, that confirm its validity.

AB  - The Blue Green Wave of Champs-sur-Marne (France) represents the largest green roof (1 ha) of the greater Paris area. The Hydrology, Meteorology and Complexity lab of École des Ponts ParisTech has chosen to convert this architectural building into a full-scale monitoring site devoted to studying the performance of green infrastructures in storm-water management. For this purpose, the relevant components of the water balance during a rainfall event have been monitored: rainfall, water content in the substrate, and the discharge flowing out of the infrastructure. Data provided by adapted measurement sensors were collected during 78 d between February and May 2018. The related raw data and a Python program transforming them into hydrological quantities and providing some preliminary elements of analysis have been made available. These measurements are useful to better understand the hydrological processes (infiltration and retention) conducting green roof performance and their spatial variability due to substrate heterogeneity. The data set is available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3687775 (Versini et al., 2019b).

AB  - To describe the water retention and transfer properties of an unsaturated soil over the whole range of matric suction, it is necessary to account for both capillary and adsorption phenomena. Existing models combine well-known empirical functions for capillary water at lower suctions and more physically based ones for adsorptive water at higher suctions. To determine their full set of parameters, they however require different optimization procedures, among which those coming from capillary models are empirical. In this context, the main objective of this work is to develop a simple and robust physically based model of the water retention and transfer properties of unsaturated soils valid from saturation to oven dryness. To do so, new capillary-based water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions founded on the fractal approach have been derived from the pore size distribution, by means of the Young-Laplace law and Mualem's model. To describe adsorption phenomena, these functions are combined with those used in the Peters-Iden-Durner (PID) model, providing a model along the full range of suctions, with less parameters than the existing models. Our work also shows that some parameters are directly determined from the experimental grain size distribution data (the fractal dimension), or from the water retention data (air entry suction and residual water content), leaving only two parameters to be optimized. The model was successfully validated with respect to published experimental data from 10 different coarse, sandy, and clayey soils.

AB  - Gardner's (1956, https://doi.org/10.2136/sssaj1956.03615995002000030006x) transient method of measuring the hydraulic conductivity function of unsaturated media has been largely used, together with the improved graphical method proposed by Kunze and Kirkham (1962, https://doi.org/10.2136/sssaj1962.03615995002600050006x) to account for the impedance effect resulting from using a low hydraulic conductivity ceramic disk in porous plate testing. These methods are nowadays seldom used, since they have been replaced by numerical back analysis and methods for parameter optimization. Based on tests carried out on a specific device allowing to determine the water retention and transport properties of water in a coarse granular media at low suctions (up to 50 kPa), it was found necessary to account (i) for impedance effects and (ii) for the effects of nonconstant suction increments, as is often the case when using the hanging column technique. A new method is proposed to account for impedance effects, based on an analytical solution of the equations governing water transfer. The validity of this method is tested by considering experimental data from three distinct materials: a coarse green roof volcanic substrate, poorly graded sand, and undisturbed silty clay. Compared to the graphical method Kunze and Kirkham's method, it is less operator-dependent and hence more objective. It is also simpler than numerical back analysis methods, since it does not require any use of numerical code or parameter optimization algorithm, providing a more direct and reliable access to the hydraulic conductivity. An analytical solution is also proposed to solve the problem resulting from the application of a nonconstant suction increment.

AB  - The determination of the water retention curve (WRC) and hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) of a specific volcanic coarse granular material used as a substrate for urban green roofs in Europe was carried out on a newly developed specific device in which low suctions, typical of coarse granular materials, were controlled. Smaller suctions (up to 32 kPa) were imposed by using a hanging column system, and larger suctions (between 32 and 50 kPa) were imposed by using the axis translation technique in the same cell. The changes in suction during the tests were monitored by using a high accuracy differential pressure transducer. They were also used to determine the HCF by means of both Kunze and Kirkham’s and Gardner’s methods. The former technique was used at low suctions (<4 kPa) to account for the impedance effects due to the high air entry value ceramic porous disk and the latter was used between 4 and 50 kPa. Good comparability was observed in the data from both methods, demonstrating the good perfor- mance of the device. The mathematical expressions of the WRC of van Genuchten and Brooks and Corey were used, and a good fitting with our experimental data was obtained. Conversely, the HCFs derived from these expressions appeared to lead to a significant underestimation, con- firming the need of an operational and simple device for the experimental determination of the HCF. Also, this material proved to be an appropriate material for green urban infrastructures, because of its lightweight, satisfactory water retention capability and hydraulic conductivity.
