Abstract: The present experimental study is focused on quantifying the initiation and propagation of desiccation cracking and strain localization in lime-treated compacted expansive soils subjected to controlled temperature and ...

Abstract: The influence of geometric arrangement of platelets (microfabric) on the mechanical behavior of kaolin clay is investigated using lubricated end triaxial testing on solid cylindrical specimens. A series of compression and ...

Abstract: This experimental study focused on cyclic degradation and cyclic pore-water pressure response of high-plasticity compacted clay under different dynamic loading and initial static shear stress conditions. The strain-controlled ...
