Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mendes, J., Gallipoli, D., Toll, D., & Tarantino, A. (2017, November). First Saturation and Resaturation of High Capacity Tensiometers with 1.5 MPa High Air Entry Value (HAEV) Ceramic Filters. Presented at Second Pan-American Conference on Unsaturated Soils, Dallas, Texas, USA

High capacity tensiometers, or HCTs, are sensors that can measure negative pore water pressures (soil suctions) between −1.5 and −2 MPa. To achieve such measured values, HCTs first need to be fully saturated by water. For the first saturation of an i...

Keeping large-scale transportation infrastructure networks, such as railway networks, operational under all conditions is one of the major challenges today. The budgetary constraints for maintenance purposes and the network dimension are two of the m...

Soil–atmosphere interactions for analysing slopes in tropical soils in Singapore (2018)
Journal Article
Toll, D. G., Rahim, M. S. M., Karthikeyan, M., & Tsaparas, I. (2019). Soil–atmosphere interactions for analysing slopes in tropical soils in Singapore. Environmental Geotechnics, 6(6), 361-372. https://doi.org/10.1680/jenge.15.00071

The modelling of soil–atmosphere interactions for slopes requires a proper understanding of the relevant soil parameters (soil water retention curve and the permeability function). This paper reports on numerical investigations of an instrumented res... Read More about Soil–atmosphere interactions for analysing slopes in tropical soils in Singapore.

In assessing the impact of climate change on infrastructure, it is essential to consider the interactions between the atmosphere, vegetation and the near-surface soil. This paper presents an overview of these processes, focusing on recent advances fr...
