摘要

Measurement of soil suction is one tool available for evaluation of unsaturated soils. It can be invaluable in estimating the depth of the active zone as well as correlating results from more expensive and time-consuming swell tests. Suction profiles can also be used to evaluate saturated lenses within the vadose zone as an aid to, or in some cases in lieu of, nested piezometers. Many engineers attempt to assign too much "accuracy" to the results, and consequently get hung up on what the results actually mean. An example of this is the current use of suction values and theoretical, but incorrect, suction profiles by the Post Tensioning Institute's (PTI) slab-on-ground design procedure. The procedure correlates changes in total suction to volumetric movement. The vast majority of research indicates that it is a change in matric suction that drives soil movement. Soil suction is also a stress state variable, not a stress variable. The difference is that a state variable can be used to evaluate the state of a material, not the actual stress. In unsaturated soils, this means that the suction value can be used to evaluate, for example, if the soil is dry and potentially expansive. However, the suction cannot be used as a stress variable, meaning that a change in the suction value is not the same as a change in stress. This paper discusses the various methods and limitations of measurement of suction and its practical use in geotechnical engineering. Examples of both the effective use and misuse of suction are presented.
