Evolution of desiccation cracking behavior of clays under drying-wetting cycles

Soils usually experience multiple drying-wetting cycles in nature, which can have a significant impact on the engineering properties of soils. Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of drying-wetting cycles on the initiation and evolution of cracks in clay layers. A clay specimen...
