Comparative study on mechanical performance of silty soil and expansive soil below canal structures in cold regions [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon
Silty soil was widely used as filling soil materials for the replacement of expansive soil in cold regions. This paper presents a straightforward approach for the effects of wetting-drying-freezing-thawing cycles on mechanical behaviors of silty soil and

Influence of reinforcement method on the crack characteristic parameters of expansive soil experimental study [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The expansive soil slope is mainly characterized by the decline of slope integrity caused by shallow expansive soil cracking and the destruction of internal soil structure, which seriously affects the overall stability of expansive soil slope.
