Lateral swelling pressure (LSP) can pose significant threats to the safety and stability of the
geo-infrastructure. For this reason, it is necessary to take into account the influence of LSP in …

Expansive soils are discovered along the high-speed railways in typical cold regions of
northeastern China. The long-term safety of slopes with expansive soil along the high-speed …

Lateral swelling pressure (LSP) of expansive soils included in the total lateral pressure
(TLP) often results in instability and even sliding failure of retaining walls. In this study, a …

The influence of dry unit weight and matric suction on the shear strength and deformation
characteristics of unsaturated expansive soil was studied by triaxial tests. Artificial rainfall …

Heat transfer near geothermal heat exchangers in the presence of groundwater flow has
been extensively studied over the past years. However, previous studies often overlooked …

This paper presents experimental studies on a compacted expansive soil, from Nanyang,
China for investigating the at-rest lateral earth pressure σ L of expansive soils. The key …

The coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest, K 0, is an essential parameter for analyzing
earth pressure distribution and the safe reliability of structures in geotechnical engineering …

Expansive soils exhibit directionally dependent swelling that traditional isotropic models fail
to capture. This study investigates the anisotropic swelling characteristics of expansive soil …

Expansive soil rich in hydrophilic mineral montmorillonite exhibits the characteristics of
water absorption expansion and water loss contraction. The volume of water absorbed by …

Expansive soils are widespread in the world and coincide with areas of high human activity.
The main cause of deep instability of expansive soil slopes is due to their softening caused …
