An Experimental Study for Swelling Effect on Repairing of Cracks in Fine-Grained Clayey Soils

Earth-dam failure starts with cracking in the clay core, and this cracking is not easy to detect and prevent. Therefore, swellable clay is a feasible solution, which helps to close the cracks automatically based on the self-healing process. The presented study utilizes experimental procedures to ana...
