- Optimum lime content identification for lime-stabilised rammed earth (2014, background): “increase in total suction on oven drying to a lower water content [3, 22].”
- Characterization of the mechanical and physical properties of unstabilized rammed earth: A review (2020, background): “Nevertheless, it can be mentioned that suction is a key parameter affecting the structural integrity of RE under moisture movement and is the source of strength in URE materials [62,63].”
- Effect of moisture content on the mechanical characteristics of rammed earth (2014, methodology): “279 4.3 Validation of the simplified method and discussions 280 Figure 8 presents all of the data for this study as well as results from Jaquin et al. (2009), who used 281 tensiometers to directly measure suction at the top of their specimens.”
- Mechanical properties of biopolymer-stabilised soil-based construction materials (2017, background): “As noted in Jaquin et al. (2009), a significant component of the strength of unstabilised soilbased construction materials can be linked to the suction present due to the very low in-situ water contents and presence of fine soil fractions.”
