DOI: 10.1007/s10064-020-01851-6
Abstract: The expansive clayey soils show swelling-shrinkage behavior in wetting and drying cycles, respectively. The seasonal water content variations cause large volume changes of expansive clays, and consequently great losses on the infrastructure. In this study,… read more here.
