Methods of Soil Water Collection at Different Matric Suctions
Japanese Journal of Limnology (Rikusuigaku Zasshi), 1978 To investigate the transport mechanism of solutes in soil water in the unsaturated zone, collection of soil water samples having different matric potential is necessary. Three methods originally developed for the purpose of measuring matric suction, i. e., the centrifuging, the pressure membrane, and the vapor pressure depression methods, were used to ...

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Experimental studies have indicated that the small strain shear modulus, Gmax, of unsaturated silt and clay has a greater amount during imbibition than during drainage, when presented as a function of matric suction.

Effect of Matric Suction on Shear Characteristics of Unsaturated Fraser River Sand
, 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.

The effects of grass and rainfall pattern on the matric suction of acidic soil slopes [PDF]
, 2019 Among the mechanism that leads to slope failures are that the matric suction starts to decrease when water infiltrates the soil. Although many studies have been carried out to improve stability of slope, most studies often ignore the influence of matric ...

Finite Element Simulation of the Bearing Capacity of an Unsaturated Coarse-Grained Soil
Iraqi Journal of Civil Engineering, 2012 This study proposed a procedure to define the soil-water characteristic curve and convert it into a relation between void ratio and matric suction. The resulting H-modulus function was used in finite element analysis of a footing on unsaturated coarse ...
