- Influencing factors of geometrical structure of surface shrinkage cracks in clayey soils (2008, background): “Nahlawi and Kodikara (2006) found that soil layers with greater thicknesses showed a slower water loss rate in general and higher water content when cracking.”
- Experimental characterization of shrinkage and desiccation cracking in thin clay layer (2011, background): “) (Albrecht and Benson, 2001; Fang, 1997; Nahlawi and Kodikara, 2006; Rodríguez et al., 2007; Tang et al., 2008), and the essential mechanism of cracking and dynamics of crack propagation is still not well understood.”
- Experimental Investigation of the Desiccation Cracking Behavior of Soil Layers during Drying (2011, background): “Because soil is a highly complex material, its desiccation cracking behavior is governed by a large number of factors, including mineral composition, temperature, relative humidity, layer thickness, and layer size (Albrecht and Benson 2001; Nahlawi and Kodikara 2006; Rodríguez et al. 2007; Tang et a”
- Desiccation and cracking behaviour of clay layer from slurry state under wetting-drying cycles (2011, background): “…behavior is governed by a large number of factors including mineral composition, clay content, relative humidity, temperature, layer thickness, boundary conditions etc. (Albrecht and Benson, 2001; Fang, 1997; Nahlawi and Kodikara, 2006; Rodríguez et al., 2007; Tang et al., 2007, 2008, 2010).”
- Influence of nano-material on the expansive and shrinkage soil behavior (2012, background): “This occurs due to the loss of soil water content which developed matric suction in soil that increases the shrinkage strain in the soil and normally followed by cracks (Nahlawi and Kodikara 2006).”
- Crack patterns in clayey soils: Experiments and modeling (2012, methodology): “In order to characterize the crack pattern, several parameters have been used by different authors [10, 48, 49].”
- Experiment evidence on the temperature dependence of desiccation cracking behavior of clayey soils (2010, background): “…for clayey soils (Lau, 1987; Montgomery and Parsons, 1990; Corser and Cranston, 1991; Morris et al., 1992; Abu-Hejleh and Znidarcic, 1995; Konrad and Ayad, 1997a, 1997b; Ayad et al., 1997; Miller et al., 1998; Yesiller et al., 2000; Péron et al, 2006; Prat et al., 2006; Nahlawi and Kodikara, 2006).”
