Building the UPPA high capacity tensiometer [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 High capacity tensiometers (HCTs) are sensors capable of directly measuring tensile pore water pressure (suction) in soils. HCTs are typically composed of a casing that encapsulates a high air entry value ceramic filter, a water reservoir and a pressure ...

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

An Investigation into the Water Retention Behaviour of an Unsaturated Natural Fissured Clay
Applied Sciences, 2022 The presence of intensely fissured soils is often found to relate to high geotechnical risks, such as landslide risk. This is especially the case of the Southern Apennines, Italy, where slopes formed of intensely fissured clays are frequently affected by

Experimental Study on Determining Unsaturated Property of Soil [PDF]
, 1980 This paper deals with the experimental study of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil. In treating unsaturated zone, a great deal more data are required than are required for the saturated zone, but these properties of soils must be known to apply the

The Compressiometer: Toward a New Skin Tensiometer for Research and Surgical Planning
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, 2022 After surgery, around 35% of patients experience problems of excessive scarring, causing disfiguring and impaired function. An incision placed in the wrong direction causes unnecessary skin tension on the wound, resulting in increased collagen ...
