The technical note Deviation from Darcy's law observed in one-dimensional consolidation, Géotechnique, 53, No. 6, 601–605, was incorrectly listed as Deviation for Darcy's law observed in one-dimensional consolidation on the contents page and back cover of the issue.
At the top of page 604 the text should have read:
The settlement observed in the test area is shown in Fig. 5.
Observed excess pore pressure distribution in Test Area IV at 5 m depth, immediately after placement of gravel fill

The following errors were printed in the paper. An elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soil incorporating the effects of suction and degree of saturation on mechanical behaviour, Géotechnique, 53, No. 1, 123–135:
In page 127/line 2 … should read as Figures 6 and 7 show for the data sets of Sharma (1998) and Sivakumar (1993) respectively
Equations (2), (8), (9) and (10) should have read:

In the paper, Effective stress in unsaturated soil: a microstructural analysis Géotechnique 53, No. 2, 273–277 the following errors were published:
On the upper left corner of Fig. 1 (p. 274), the label should be (ua – uw)λ
In the third line after Eq. 2 (p. 274), ui = ϕ should be ui = 0
In the 6th line after Eq. 2 (p. 274), uij should be ui,j
In the 6th line after Eq. 2 (p. 274), wk should be ωk
In the second line of Eq. 23, the + sign in the brackets should be – the correct equation is below
The following errors were published in Proposal for a new plasticity chart, Géotechnique, 53, No. 4, 397–406:
On page 397, 2nd column, line 20 up: the reference should be to (D 2487). On page 398, 1st column, line 2 the reference should be to (BS 1377). In Fig. 3: The label for the diamond symbol should be Wp.
