Nucleation and propagation mechanisms of soil desiccation cracks (2018, background): “The reduction in the strength of soils due to 20 desiccation cracking may cause failure of exposed earth structures [Morris et al., 1992], landslide 21 [Tang et al., 2011], and mudflow [Wang et al., 2016].”
Automatic quantification of crack patterns by image processing (2013, methodology): “Up to date, the CIAS have been used to study the fundamentals of soil cracks (Tang et al., 2008, 2011).”
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).”
