Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Expansive Clay under Drying–Wetting Cycle
Applied Sciences, 2023 Expansive clay is one of the most widely distributed soils in the world. Due to its rich content of strongly hydrophilic minerals—such as montmorillonite—expansive clay exhibits substantial swelling and shrinkage properties, and overconsolidation.
