Shallow landslides of expensive soil slopes occur from time to time, and most engineering
geological problems are directly or indirectly caused by soil structure cracks. The existence …

Fractures are considered the most characteristic property of expansive soils distinguishing it
from other soils. The cause of many problems in engineering geology is directly or indirectly …

Due to the significant hydrophilicity and cracking properties of expansive soils, expansive
soil slopes are prone to destabilization and landslides after rainfall, seriously threatening the …

The swelling-shrinkage behavior of expansive soils under climate changes will cause the
crack development, which can be destructive of expansive soil slopes. This study …

To explore the dynamic characteristics of crack formation in expansive soils slope, this paper
conducted an indoor model test of the expansive soils slope with seven times of alternate …

Fissure is one of the most important characteristics in expansive soil. It's an important factor
affecting slope stability in the expansive soil area. With the study of expansive soils typical …

With the rapid development of road engineering today, a large number of high-grade
highways need to pass through expansive soil distribution areas. At present, the research on …

Rainfall infiltration softens the filling material of deep cracks in expansive soil, significantly
reducing its mechanical strength and causing slope instability and failure. Investigating this …

A series of large-scale static model tests of compacted expansive soil slope were conducted
with real-time monitoring of water content, swelling deformation, and soil pressure. The …

Expansive soil is a kind of clay soil that expands rapidly after being immersed in water and
shrinks significantly after losing water. The expansive soil slopes exposed to the atmosphere …
