Effect of Dolomite Lime on Soil Matric Suction [PDF]
Applied Research on Civil Engineering and Environment (ARCEE), 2021 The most fundamental of unsaturated soil is matric suction parameter. Matric suction in unsaturated soils plays an important role in controlling physical and mechanical properties. This parameter can influence some other important parameters of soil, such as effective stress, shear strength, swelling pressure, etc.

Mini suction probe for matric suction measurements
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2002 A modified triaxial apparatus with mini suction probes was fabricated to study the matric suction along the specimen height during unsaturated triaxial testing. Three mini suction probes were placed at 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 height of the specimen, each at 120° apart in the lateral direction. This paper presents the development of the mini probe for matric

A suction probe for direct measurement of high matric suction
岩土工程学报, 2008 A suction probe and a saturation system were developed to measure the negative pore water pressure (matric suction) directly. After adopting purposely designed saturation procedures, the probe was able to measure suction up to 500kPa. The accuracy of the
