Effects of Contact Angle on the Hysteresis Effect of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves during Dry-Wet Cycles

<div>Soil-water characteristic curves of wet and dry cycles with different initial dry densities in the full suction range: (a) ρd = 1.3 g/cm3; (b) ρd = 1.35 g/cm3; (c) ρd = 1.4 g/cm3; (d) ρd = 1.45 g/cm3; (e) ρd = 1.5 g/cm3; (f) ρd = 1.6 g/cm3; (g) ρd = 1.7 g/cm3.</div>
