Influence of Vetiver Root System on Mechanical Performance of Expansive Soil: Experimental Studies

In order to study the influence of the vetiver root system on the swelling characteristics and crack resistance of expansive soil, vetiver grass root growth and its vertical distribution were investigated by the cultivation test and observation. The expansion rate experiment without load and expansi...
