Initial Swelling Mechanism of Expansive Clays: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Expansive soils are widely found in many parts of the world. Highly active smectite clay mineral Montmorillonite is the major constituent in these clays and can expand or contract up to 15 times of their original volume. Constrained swelling exert large amount of stress causing damage to structures,...
