Surficial Failure of Expansive Soil Cutting Slope and Its Flexible Support Treatment Technology

The surficial failure of most expansive soil cutting slopes, subjected to the repeated wet-dry cycles, often occurs during or after rainfall following a long drought. The reason for this, however, is still unclear. Therefore, the laboratory tests were conducted to gain the saturated drained shear st...
