Evaluation of filter paper calibrations for indirect determination of soil suctions of an unsaturated compacted silty sand
The soil suction is a key variable in the analysis of the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. The filter paper method (FPM) calculates soil suction indirectly by measuring the gravimetric water content of the filter paper at equilibrium that is related to soil suction through a predeterm...
