Investigation on shrinkage behaviour of kaolin clay

As evaporation prevails, soils lose water and shrink upon desiccation, which lead to formation of desiccation cracks. The cracking of desiccated clay soils is problematic to many civil structures hence an adequate understanding of the desiccation cracking process is of great significance. To build t...
