Stability analysis of expansive soil slopes considering shear strength decay characteristics
Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2022 In order to address the problem that the dynamic decay of shear strength of expansive soil in the process of rainfall infiltration cannot be considered in the traditional slope stability analysis of expansive soil, indoor direct shear test was carried ...

Influence of Swelling on Shear Strength of Expansive Soil and Slope Stability
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Rainfall is the main factor leading to the landslide of expansive soil slope. To deeply understand the instability mechanism of expansive soil slope under rainfall conditions, it is necessary to clarify the strength attenuation mechanism of expansive ...

An elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soil incorporating the effects of suction and degree of saturation on mechanical behaviour [PDF]
, 2003 The paper presents an elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soils that takes explicitly into account the mechanisms with which suction affects mechanical behaviour as well as their dependence on degree of saturation.

Spectroscopy to characterize expansive soils
2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2007 Expansive soils are major geotechnical hazards that pose several problems on engineering structures causing billions of dollars of damage in many parts of the world especially at places where there are significant climatic differences between dry and wet periods (Gourley et al., 1993; Nelson and Miller, 1992).

Modelling and calculating lateral pressure of expansive soil-EPS inclusion-retaining wall system
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021 The thermal fields and thermal expansion are used to simulate the moisture fields and swelling of expansive soils upon wetting in this study. The thermal-mechanical coupled finite element analysis is employed to simulate the "expansive soil-EPS inclusion-
