CALDERÓN, V. J. V. Interpretation of TDR test results for determining the moisture content of soil. 2010. 117 f. Dissertação (Mestrado) – Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos, Universidade de São Paulo, São Carlos, 2010. The objective of this work was to calibrate a coiled TDR probe used to measure the water content of soil. It was used an approach that takes into account a physical interpretation of the values of the dielectric constants. The calibration equations were determined by means of a mixed dielectric model, which relates the dielectric constant of a multi-phase mixture with the dielectric constants and volume fractions of its components. Tests carried out in the laboratory allowed development of two calibration equations for the assessment of the volumetric and gravimetric soil water content. Calibration was performed with measurements of dielectric constants in different liquids and soils, using a conventional TDR probe and a coiled TDR. The readings performed with the two probes were then compared. The dielectric model of two phases permitted describing the contribution of the dielectric material of the body of the probe coil and the materials investigated. It has been shown that knowledge of the physical and geometrical characteristics of the TDR probe used in the tests is crucial for the quality of the dielectric constant readings, and consequently the determination of water content in situ.
