- The paper is the first to publish CBR test data with suction measurements. It uses an unsaturated soil approach to explain the lower strength at low water contents, the rationale for which had not been well understood. It is part of a Special Issue (edited by Toll & Caicedo) on lateritic and tropical soils as road construction materials, for which there is very limited data, thus adding to its significance. This work on lateritic soils led to the award of a major EPSRC grant EP/P029671/1 (with research partners in Ghana, Tanzania and South Africa).
