High content of expansive clay minerals coupled with exposure to moisture content
fluctuations, is known to cause alternate swelling and shrinkage of soils. Typically, this …

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 …

In reservoirs and embankment areas, frequent water-level fluctuations, especially water
drawdowns, often produce instability problems or landslides in the slopes overlying …

Lightweight structures built on expansive soils are susceptible to damage caused by soil
movement. Financial losses resulting from the improper design of structures on expansive …

Expansive soil hazard is a special kind of soil-related hazard in geological engineering. The
general mechanisms of expansive soil landslide were illustrated, which lies in the swelling …

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 …

Shallow landslides often occur in the vast majority of expansive soil cutting slopes during or
after rainfall, resulting in newly-built highway traffic disruption, ecological environment …
