• Experiment evidence on the temperature dependence of desiccation cracking behavior of clayey soils (2010, background): “…a large number of factors such as mineral composition, clay content, relative humidity, layer thickness and size, boundary conditions, etc. (Fang, 1997; Albrecht and Benson, 2001; Nahlawi and Kodikara, 2006; Prat et al., 2006; Lakshmikantha et al., 2006; Rodríguez et al., 2007; Tang et al., 2007).”
• Desiccation cracking of soils (2009, background): “Kleppe and Olson (1985), Daniel and Wu (1993) and Albrecht and Benson (2001) conducted desiccation tests on compacted soils used for clay liners and covers.”

• Nucleation and propagation mechanisms of soil desiccation cracks (2018, background): “Cracks provide preferential channels for 22 mass transfer which adversely affect the functionality of dams, levees, embankments and landfill 23 barriers [Albrecht and Benson, 2001; Ye et al., 2017].”
• Influence of nano-material on the expansive and shrinkage soil behavior (2012, background): “According to the Albrecht and Benson (2001) the soil, for example in the area of landfill linear should be compacted at the maximum dry density (max.”
• Effect of discrete fibre reinforcement on soil tensile strength (2014, background): “The tensile strength of soil is, however, an important mechanical parameter in the design of geosystems, i.e. slopes, dams, embankments and hydraulic barriers, where tensile cracks are likely to occur (Morris et al., 1992; Miller et al., 1998; Albrecht and Benson, 2001; Tang et al., 2010a, 2011).”
