Mapping of cracked soils and lateral water flow characteristics through a network of cracks
When a cohesive soil is dried, its volume tends to shrink in three directions. Shrinkage of the soil causes tensile stresses to develop and desiccation cracks will start to develop. The occurrence of cracks can significantly influence the lateral flow of water through the soil. It is important to un...
