Effect of Dolomite Lime on Soil Matric Suction
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.

A Trans-Scale Study on the Influence of Water Content and Particle Size on Matric Suction
Geofluids, 2023 Exploring the water retention properties of unsaturated soil from the perspective of a liquid bridge has been a popular issue in recent years. This study first measures the soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) of granular specimens to determine the ...

Preliminary Analysis on Matric Suction for Barren Soil
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2016 Abstract Most research conducted on slope failures can broadly be attributed to the convergence of three factors, i.e. rainfall, steepness of slope, and soil geological profile. The mechanism of the failures is mainly due to the loss of matric suction of soils by rainwater.

Relationship between the matric suction and the shear strength in unsaturated soil
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020 To understand the shear strength properties for unsaturated soil with different matric suction values, a modified triaxial test device was used. The matric suction is considered an important contributor to unsaturated shear strength properties.

Unsaturated Shear Strength of Compacted Clayey Soil via Suction-controlled Ring Shear Testing [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 An experimental program has been undertaken to assess both peak and residual shear strength parameters of statically compacted, moderate plasticity clayey soil under suction-controlled conditions, resulting in a defined set of suction-dependent peak and ...

A study of the soil-water reliability model in the whole matric suction range
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2022 Soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are considered as a basis for analyzing fluid–solid coupling of unsaturated soil. How to estimate the SWCC over the whole region with matric suction based on the limited local datasets is challenging.

Polymer tensiometers with ceramic cones: direct observations of matric pressures in drying soils [PDF]
, 2010 Measuring soil water potentials is crucial to characterize vadose zone processes. Conventional tensiometers only measure until approximately −0.09 MPa, and indirect methods may suffer from the non-uniqueness in the relationship between matric potential ...
