AB  - Experimental testing has shown that unsaturated soils exhibit hysteretic retention behaviour upon cycles of drying and wetting. This paper describes the general formulation of a hysteretic soilwater retention curve model, according to which the shape of the scanning paths is defined based on the relative positions of the current point, its projection on the corresponding primary curve, designated as image point, and the position at which the scanning path was initiated. However, rather than prescribing an analytical expression relating the hydraulic response at the current point with that at the image point, a Hill-Climbing algorithm is employed to characterise this component of the model. The use of this optimisation technique enables a pattern to be established based on experimental data, which is then converted into the analytical formulation of the model. The resulting expression is shown to accurately reproduce the experimentally observed behaviour. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group.
