Effect of initial water content and dry density on the self-healing of desiccation cracks in compacted hipparion red clay

The self-healing of desiccation cracks in compacted clayey soils is important for mechanism revelation of cracking behavior in compacted soils. Although the crack self-healing behavior has been found, the influence of soil physical indices on it is still unclear, especially initial water content and...
