Multi-perspective analysis on rainfall-induced spatial response of soil suction in a vegetated soil
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2022 In this study, an intelligent monitoring platform is established for continuous quantification of soil, vegetation, and atmosphere parameters (e.g. soil suction, rainfall, tree canopy, air temperature, and wind speed) to provide an efficient dataset for ...

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.

Effect of osmotic suction on the stability of microaggregations and aggregations in a lateritic soil [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 It has been established that the matric suction is the portion of the total suction that affects, more directly, the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils, being less considered the effects of the osmotic suction.

Effects of water/salt phase transition on matric suction of sulfate saline soil
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022 The sulfate saline soil is the main type of saline soil in cold and arid regions of Northwest China. As the environmental temperature changes, the ice formation and salt crystallization may change the matric suction of saline soil.

Total and Matric Suction in Unsaturated Soil with the Existence of Different Salts Content [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2013 Soils located above the groundwater table are generally unsaturated and exhibit negative pore-water pressures. A soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water content of a soil to matric suction is an important relationship for the ...

Effect of contact angle hysteresis on measuring matric suction in unsaturated sandy soil
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2023 The contact angle plays an important role in matric suction of unsaturated soils, but few studies consider the effect of contact angle hysteresis on matric suction. In this paper, taking sandy soil as an example, the influence of contact angle hysteresis
