Towards the development on new high capacity tensiometers capable of measuring soil matric suction beyond 3 MPa
نویسندگان
چکیده
High capacity tensiometers (HCT) are the only type of sensors in existence that can measure soil matric suction directly and regarded to be most accurate reliable technique for study evolution unsaturated soils. The measurement with HCTs is possible due their design, composed ceramic filter a specific air entry value (AEV), small water reservoir, pressure transducer. Where, AEV filter, more precisely largest pore size within ceramic, plays important role controlling measuring range HCTs. Specifically, decreasing results an increase range. In this work, new development presented whereby was replaced from typically used 1.5 MPa alumina estimated 3.5 MPa. To assess performance similar designed were assembled Soilmoisture Equipment Corp. filters. Early show maximum beyond 3 filter.

New Polymer Tensiometers: Measuring Matric Pressures Down to the Wilting Point
Tensiometers are commonly used for measuring soil water matric pressures. Unfortunately, the water-filled reservoir of conventional tensiometers limits their applicability to soil water matric pressures above approximately20.085 MPa. Tensiometers filled with a polymer solution instead of water are able to measure a larger range of soil water matric pressures. We designed and constructed six pro...

In slope engineering, soils are commonly at unsaturated state. The question of how to apply unsaturated soil mechanics theory to the slope stability analysis has become a hot spot in today’s geotechnical engineering research. Based on the experimental research of how shear strength of residual soil varies with water content, reasonable computation modules can be created. By using limit equilibr...
