Desiccation cracking is a common phenomenon in clay materials, which may considerably increase the hydraulic conductivity of soil. This issue is one of the main concerns in the design and construction of landfill covers, especially, in arid regions. For some highly plastic soils, permeability increa

The paper discusses typical fracture mechanics problems which have been analyzed in order to evaluate the performance of the rotating crack model. The outcome indicates that the model is a promising tool for nonlinear analysis of concrete structures. For model-I cracking, the model is capable of sim

When drying a clayey soil, shrinkage and then cracking on soil surface occur due to water loss by evaporation, this phenomenon seems to be temperature-dependent. In the present work, experimental tests were conducted on saturated slurry to investigate the desiccation cracking behavior at three tempe
