The soil water retention curve (SWRC) is usually measured by the axis translation technique
(ATT), assuming a specimen thickness of a few centimetres. Usually, this assumption is …

Calorimetry is the standard measurement method for monitoring the hydration of
cementitious materials and retrieving their hydration degree. However, it is destructive and …

Impedance and vector network analyzer measurements are combined in order to measure
frequency dependent conductivity and permittivity of two different saturated clays …

Geotextiles find wide applications in the field for filtration and drainage. When applied on the
soil surface they influence soil evaporation. The objective of this work is twofold:(a) to assess …

This paper presents a new apparatus: a large flow through coaxial cell designed for
broadband dielectric characterization of material under controlled hydraulic and chemical …

A pragmatic approach to probe setup is desired for broadband dielectric measurement and
monitoring. We propose and validate the utilization of a single probe that integrates two …

The recent catastrophic failures of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) have generated an
enormous interest amongst the stakeholders for safe management of tailings. Two state …

The geometric properties of the pore space govern the electrical and hydraulic properties of
soils. Recognizing this commonality, this paper proposes a new approach to determine …

Leakages from storage tanks or pipes frequently produce pollution of soils and groundwater
reservoirs by hydrocarbons. Common practices for monitoring and characterising site …

Granular columns are commonly used for ground improvement. However, minimal research
is presently available on the effect of backfill particle size on the geotechnical performance …
