Soil suction measurement is required for the analysis of slope stability and soil-structure interactions related to unsaturated soils below transportation infrastructures. Osmotic tensiometers (OT) can measure soil suction higher than 1000 kPa but suffer from the pressure decay problem. The OT fille...
