Environmental and material controls on desiccation cracking in engineered clay embankments
Desiccation cracking is a natural phenomenon commonly associated with drying of expansive soils. The role of cracks in surface permeability increase and overall deterioration of infrastructure slopes makes it a key factor in climate-related slope instability processes. Despite this significance, the...
