Des capteurs de conductivité thermique (TC) qui fournissent des estimations de la succion
matricielle ont été utilisés dans une expérience en nature conçue pour caractériser le …

This chapter describes the history and use of thermal conductivity sensors to measure matric
suction. The technique uses an indirect measurement which is correlated to matric suction …

An experimental program was set up to study the capillary hysteresis of the ceramic block for
a newly developed thermal conductivity soil suction sensor. The testing program included …

Crops cultivated in greenhouse normally use soilless substrates as a growing medium. In
this production process, strict control of the application of water and fertilizers is required …

It is essential to understand how water is transported and stored in mine waste rock to
predict the rates and quantities of mineral weathering products released to the environment …

Matric suction has proven to be a key parameter in the study and application of soil
mechanics for unsaturated soils. Field measurements of suction are necessary in many …

To improve the understanding of the behaviour of pavements constructed on unsaturated
expansive soils a research project was initiated to establish typical variations of matric …

Résumé Conductivité hydraulique non saturée est un paramètre important pour caractériser
le comportement des sols non saturés. Ce paramètre peut être utilisé pour modéliser …

Pavements constructed in areas with expansive soil subgrades suffer damage caused by
changes in bearing capacity and movements of the subgrade soil due to seasonal variations …
