The infiltration characteristics of expansive soil considering fracture under wet-dry cycle conditions

Expansive soils exhibit a relatively low permeability coefficient when structurally intact, allowing for their treatment as a homogeneous medium in calculations. However, the susceptibility of the slope's shallow area to numerous primary and secondary cracks under the influence of wetting and d...
