Prototype Testing of a Modified Poroelastic Matric Suction Sensor.
The matric suction is one of the stress state variables used in the interpretation of the engineering behaviour of soils. This thesis documents development of a Poroelastic Matric Suction Sensor (PE sensor). The advantage of this sensor is that it is a direct method with a relatively large range of …

The effects of grass and rainfall pattern on the matric suction of acidic soil slopes
… 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 suction induced by vegetation. Grass can be classified into many …

Simple Techniques for the Implementation of the Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils into Engineering Practice
… properties of unsaturated soils with respect to suction based on the experimental results. Implementation of the mechanics of unsaturated soils in conventional geotechnical engineering practice, however, has been rather limited. The key reasons for the limited practical applications may be …
