SOIL SUCTION MEASUREMENTS WITH FILTER PAPER METHOD INTRODUCTION The filter paper method is a soil suction measurement technique. Soil suction is one of the most important parameters describing the moisture condition of unsaturated soils. The measurement of soil suction is crucial for engineering applications in unsaturated soils. The filter paper method is a laboratory test method, and it is inexpensive and relatively simple. It is also the only known method that covers the full range of suction. With the filter paper method, both total and matric suction can be measured. If the fi
