Experimental study on fully softened shear strength of expansive soil
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020 The fully softened strength tests are carried out on the expansive soil samples from the Yangtze-Huaihe River Water Transfer Project. The fully softened strength indexes under different moisture contents and shear rates are discussed and analyzed.

Compaction behaviour of clay [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents an experimental study of the compaction behaviour of non-active clay. One-dimensional static compaction tests were carried out at high and medium water content with matric suction monitoring using Trento high-capacity tensiometers. At

Evolving fracture patterns: columnar joints, mud cracks, and polygonal terrain [PDF]
, 2013 When cracks form in a thin contracting layer, they sequentially break the layer into smaller and smaller pieces. A rectilinear crack pattern encodes information about the order of crack formation, as later cracks tend to intersect with earlier cracks at ...

Statistical Damage Model of Altered Granite under Dry-Wet Cycles [PDF]
Symmetry, 2019 This paper presents a new statistical damage constitutive model using symmetric normal distribution. The broken rock microbody obeyed symmetric normal distribution and the equivalent strain principle in damage mechanics. The uniaxial compression tests of samples subjected to dry-wet cycles were performed.
