A Local Monitoring of Water Content in Unsaturated Soil Triaxial Testingmination of the state of the specimen also requires the monitoring of local changes in water content. To this aim, a new electrical resistivity probe, composed of two pairs of electrodes was developed. Some experimental data on the changes in resistivity with the degree of saturation were obtained b

Unsaturated Soil Response under Plane Strain Conditions Using a Servo/Suction-Controlled Biaxial Appcurately modelled using plane strain analyses, given the particular geometries, stress paths and boundary conditions that such geosystems normally feature or undergo in the field. Biaxial devices allow for direct testing of soils under truly plane strain conditions, facilitating a more accurate asse

Estimating the Retention Curve of a Compacted Soil through Different Testing and Interpretation Meth both physical modelling and element volume testing, using different suction measurement techniques. The paper shows the efficacy in the assessment of the soil retention properties of the use of the filter paper technique and of low capacity tensiometers to measure the soil suction in different suct

Constructing Fast, Accurate Soil Water Characteristic Curves by Combining the Wind/Schindler and Vap shrink-swell characteristics from the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC). For many years, filter paper and axis translation made the majority of the SWCCs, but these techniques are time consuming and inaccurate. The vapor pressure method (VPM) overcomes these, but past instruments lacked the re

Enhancement of a Commercial Pressure Plate Apparatus for Soil Water Retention Curvesng of the pressure chamber, exchange of water vapour between the soil and the air in the chamber, lack of soil-plate contact, part of the porous plate directly in contact with air in the pressure chamber, and evaporation of water from the ballast tube may lead to incorrect estimation of the water vo

Water Retention Behaviour Explored by X-Ray CT Analysisesents the first results of an experimental study in which high resolution (7.5.m/px) X-ray tomography has been performed on a small (10×10mm) cylindrical sample of Hostun HN31 sand at several different levels of imposed suction. A specialised cell allowing X-ray scanning as well as fine control of
