Effects of climate change on cycles of wetting and drying in engineered clay slopes in England
In volume-sensitive clays the annual cycle of wetting and drying causes shrink and swell displacements. These movements cause damage to many infrastructure types, including railway and highway embankments and cut slopes, earth dams and flood embankments. At present there is little information on the...
