Measurement of Matric Suction Using Tensiometric and Axis Translation Techniques [PDF]
Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2008 Experimental equipment for the measurement of matric suction in unsaturated soils using hydraulic tensiometers and the axis translation technique share a common working principle; that is, the measurement of a pressure differential across a high air entry porous ceramic.

A method for predicting the influence of matric suction changes on CPT tip resistance [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 The Cone Penetration Test (CPT) is a valuable tool for continuous soil profiling and estimating soil properties. A CPT sounding will often pass through the active zone of an unsaturated soil profile, near the ground surface where moisture conditions and ...

Compaction behaviour of clay [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents an experimental study of the compaction behaviour of non-active clay. One-dimensional static compaction tests were carried out at high and medium water content with matric suction monitoring using Trento high-capacity tensiometers. At

Effect of Matric Suction on Shear Characteristics of Unsaturated Fraser River Sand [PDF]
, 1998 This paper discusses the shear strength and volume change characteristics of a loose Fraser River sand. Suction-controlled simple shear tests were carried out for the unsaturated sand.

Effect of Matric Suction on Monotonic and Cyclic Behaviour of a Low-Plastic Silty Soil from Sakarya Region [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesShallow soil layers subjected to seasonal wetting and drying cycles are typically located above the groundwater table and experience negative pore water pressures. Many geotechnical problems are associated with the behaviour of these soils.

Investigation of plant growth and transpiration-induced matric suction under mixed grass-tree conditions [PDF]
, 2016 Although evapotranspiration-induced matric suction for single species has been widely studied, little is known about how mixed-species planting would affect the plant growth and induced matric suction. This study aims to explore the effects of grass-tree
