Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 497,046, filed November 08, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, including any figures, tables, or drawings. Background technique [0003] During the process of soil subsidence or compaction, fabric anisotropy is gradually formed because it is mainly affected by the arrangement tendency of non-spherical particles. Fabric anisotropy in turn leads to anisotropic responses of flow-related soil properties, such as resistivity (electrical conductivity) anisotropy, thermal conductivity anisotropy, and permeability (hydraulic conductivity) anisotropy. Because all of these flow phenomena are similar processes, and among the flow-related properties of these unsaturated soils, resistivity is relatively easy to measure, so soil resistivity is often used to assist in predicting other flow characteristics, such...
