The major problematic soils in semi-arid regions include expansive soils and collapsible soils. These two types of soils cause problems and are hazardous for buildings when moisture is introduced following a dry or semi-dry season. In order to assess the...

The swelling-shrinkage behavior of expansive soils under climate changes will cause the crack development, which can be destructive of expansive soil slopes. This study investigated the effect of drying/wetting cycles on the stability of an expansive soi...

Expanded soils are widely distributed in Xinjiang, China, so roadbeds will inevitably pass through the areas of the expansive soil during road construction. While Xinjiang belongs to the seasonal frozen region, subjected to a freeze?thaw cycle, mud pumpi...
