Question:
Refer to Fig. 6.19 Fredlund and Rahardjo (1993)
make a best-fit (regression) of the SWCC using Fredlund and Xing (1994) equation.
Show the SWCC best-fit equation parameters (a, n, m).

Gambar 3 A sample plot for the graphical solution of the four parameters (a, n, m, and ) in [1]
(Sumber: Fredlund Xing, 1994)
 Solution:
1. Menentukan inflection point, residual point, dan slope.

curve)
2. Menentukan parameter a, m, n.
a. Parameter a:
a = i = 20,4 kPa (matric suction pada titik inflection)
b. Parameter m:
s = 0,3877 (saturated volumetric water content)
i = 0,252 (volumetric water content pada titik inflection)
s
jadi, m = 3,67 ln ( )
