Experimental study of the freeze thaw characteristics of expansive soil slope models with different initial moisture contents

Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effect of freeze–thaw cycling on expansive soil slopes with different initial moisture contents. Clay soil from Weifang, China, was remolded and selected to build the expansive soil slope for the indoor slope model tests. A total of f...
