Volume changes and mechanical degradation of a compacted expansive soil under freeze-thaw cycles
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of cylindrical expansive soil specimens were compacted at three different molding water contents (15, 20% and 23%) and then subjected to a maximum of 12 closed-system F-T cycles.

Freeze-thaw performance of a cement-treated expansive soil
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of adding cement to expansive soil was evaluated by focusing on the water loss, volume change, stress-strain response, unconfined compression strength, resilient modulus and strain at failure after a sequence of freeze-thaw cycles.

An analytical solution for geotextile-wrapped soil based on insights from DEM analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical solution for geotextile-wrapped soil based on a comprehensive numerical analysis conducted using the discrete element method (DEM) is presented, where a near-failure state line that predicts stress ratios relative to the maximums at failure with respect to deviatoric strain is uniquely identified; dilation rates are found to be related to stress ratios via a single linear correlation regardless of the tensile stiffness of the geote-xtile.

Performance of an unsaturated expansive soil slope subjected to artificial rainfall infiltration
TL;DR: In this paper, an 11 m high cut slope in a typical expansive clay with medium plasticity in Zaoyang, close to the middle route in Hubei, was selected for a comprehensive and well-instrumented field study of the effects of rainfall infiltration.
