' ABSTRACT The use of the filter paper (FP) method for sands is quite limited in the literature in which only a number of studies have been conducted using the FP method. This study, therefore, aims to use the FP technique for measuring matric suction for two different types of sands. Samples were prepared using the water pluviation technique. The samples were left to dry out and then monitored by weight to obtain different values of degree of saturation. This is to extend suction measurement beyond the residual suction and to fully define the shape of the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC). The FP method then was validated with the hanging column technique (HCT), which is a method of controlling and applying suction. The results showed good agreement between the two utilized methods. Key words: filter paper; soil suction measurement; matric suction; soil '
