The effects of capillary hysteresis on the measurement of matric suction using thermal conductivity sensors

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 engineering analyses, such as the prediction of total heave, the analysis of the slope stability due to changes in soil suction, a...
