abstract = {The prediction capabilities of unsaturated flow and
transport models are often limited by insufficient knowledge
about the structural and textural heterogeneity of the soil.
To obtain more information about soil structure, texture,
and heterogeneity, as well as hydraulic properties,
noninvasive spectral induced polarization (SIP) measurements
have shown promise. However, there clearly is a need for
more detailed investigations on the relation between SIP and
hydraulic properties, in particular for unsaturated soil. To
address this need, we developed a novel experimental setup
that allows simultaneous determination of hydraulic and
electrical properties. Our setup consists of multi step
ouflow equipment for hydraulic measurements and an
electrical impedance spectrometer for measurements of the
complex electrical conductivity. Two different measurement
cells were constructed. The first measurement cell can only
be used for nonshrinking soil, while the other one also
allows measurements on mildly shrinking soil. Test
measurements showed that the measurement accuracy is very
high for the complex electrical conductivity. Nonpolarizable
point electrodes are used for voltage measurements, ensuring
a good contact to the sample for a wide range of water
saturations. An experiment performed on unconsolidated sand
investigated the dependence of the complex electrical
conductivity and fitted Cole-Cole parameters on water
saturation. The phase values and chargeability increased
with decreasing saturation. The relaxation time associated
with a phase peak was independent of saturation and
corresponded reasonably to the average grain size of the
sand. Therefore, no relationship between relaxation time and
unsaturated hydraulic conductivity was found for this
well-sorted sand.},
