Abstract

The current paper presents a novel experimental method which is able to capture the effects of suffusion by substitution of the ﬁnes in a sample by salt of a similar grain size. The setup is tailored to optically capture the change in soil structure behind a glass window in a plane strain strongbox using a digital camera. Subsequently, digital image correlation techniques have been used to quantify the structural change. The ﬁrst model test shows promosing insight in the pseudo suffusion mechanism. The test setup therefore offers a valuable addition to permeameter tests.
