Model Test Study on Deformation Characteristics of a Fissured Expansive Soil Slope Subjected to Loading and Irrigation
Expansive soils are characterized by repeated swelling and shrinkage. They cause great damage to engineering projects because of their expansiveness, over-consolidation and propensity to crack. However, the impact of cracks on the stability of an expansive soil slope during loading and irrigation is...
