Desiccation crack in lime-treated silty clay: Experimental evaluation and constitutive interpretation

The present work investigates the desiccation effects on a lime-treated clayey silt. Original experimental techniques have been developed to control suction conditions (with osmotic technique) and to track volume variations and cracks occurrence upon drying. Free and constrained dryings are performe...
