Fig. 6. Conceptual model of the main factors and properties controlling aggregate stability when an aggregate is suddenly wet. It includes the rate of pressure buildup P(t)], the near saturated hydraulic conductivity (K_ns), the potential at the wetting front [h_f(t)] and the rate of loss of hydraulic conductivity as water enters the pore space ( ${alpha}$ ).
