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 …

Compacted clay possesses a low water permeability and has been widely used in geo-
environmental facilities such as landfill cover systems. Recent studies revealed the potential …

A model for predicting water evaporation from clayey soil with desiccation cracks was
developed based on a general suction-related model. The effect of desiccation cracks was …

Measuring soil surface changes at field scale can be an important tool to analyse sediment
connectivity and may contribute to a better understanding of processes causing soil …

This paper presents a study assessing the possible application of seven clay substrates of
various particle compositions and plasticity, sampled locally in rural regions, as materials …

Wildfire can impact soil‐hydraulic properties by reducing saturated hydraulic conductivity
and sorptivity, making recently burned landscapes prone to debris flows and flash floods …

The shrinkage and swelling behaviors of clayey soils could lead to cracks and erosions
inducing severe damages to agricultural lands and engineering projects. Thus, improving …

This work presents an experimental study on the physico-mechanical and microstructural
characteristics of stabilised soils and the effect of wetting and drying cycles on their durability …

Extensive amounts of water erosion combined with the magnitude of on‐site and off‐site
impacts have led to considerable reduction in soil fertility and increased production costs in …

Loess resources are abundant and widely distributed in the world, but insufficient strength
and water-stability cannot meet the requirements of subgrade soil. Ordinary soil …
