Volume Changes and Cracking Behavior of a Mudstone Wetted by NaCl Solutions

Abstract

AbstractRising sea levels driven by climate change may negatively impact expressway embankments near coastlines, with seawater exposure potentially altering their engineering characteristics and compromising traffic safety. A mudstone is used in this ...Practical ApplicationsRising sea levels driven by climate change threaten existing coastal expressway embankments by increasing the possibility of seawater exposure. This study investigates the impact of NaCl solutions on a mudstone, which has been used ...
