Physical Properties of Adsorbed Water on Soil

Abstract

In the previous paper some physical properties of adsorbed water were showo from its dielectrical phenomena. This paper deals with finding out the relations among water content, pF values and physical properties.
Main results of this study are as follows:
(1) All the adsorbed water which exists within 1 or 2 layers on the surface ofsoil particle has almost identical properties.
(2) The relaration time of film water on soil becomes shorter with the increase of water content. The relaration time is of the same order as that of ice.
(3) Properties of the film water are considered to change contineously from, ice-like properties to liquid-like ones.
(4) The water content in which the film water has the same propertics as liquid water coincides, with the water content at pF 2.7-3.0.
