A new experimental set-up using a differential pressure transducer wasdeveloped, that enables the monitoring of volume changes in cyclic triaxialtests on unsaturated soils. Calibration tests were performed in order toanalyze the performance of the set-up, especially in terms of loadingfrequencies. Based on calibration results, a low frequency of 0.05 Hz wasadopted for the tests carried out on the unsaturated loess from northernFrance. Five water contents were considered in the tests. The obtained resultshave confirmed the efficiency of the new system for volume change monitoringunder cyclic loading. The effect of water content on the cyclic behavior ofloess was clearly evidenced. Finally, some suggestions were made to improve theaccuracy of the system.
