...Aijun Chen, PhD, SN ENGR (Senior Engineer); Chaohua Li, MSc; Chuanyang Ding, MSc Red clay is prone to cracking in desiccating environments, with criss-cross cracks compromising soil structures and inducing slope instability. Under natural hygrothermal conditions, a desiccation test of red clay...

...Jiawei Xu, MSc; Junneng Ye, PhD; Jin Sun, PhD; Xuecheng Bian, PhD Clay structures are mainly formed by cementation between particles, and play an important role in the weakening and failure of foundations when disturbed. Existing constitutive models reflect the failure characteristics of clay from...

... profile is characterised by a layer of low-plasticity clay from the ground surface down to about 20 m. The groundwater level is located at a depth of about 14 m below the ground surface. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the geotechnical properties of the soil at different depths, some preliminary...
