The Effect of Initial Water Content and Density on the Swelling-Shrinkage and Cracking Characteristics of Compacted Clay

The swelling-shrinkage and cracking characteristics of compacted clay under the coupling effect of initial conditions are rarely studied. The dry-wet cycle test of compacted clay with varying initial water contents and densities was performed in this study; the size and cracking conditions were inve...
