Mechanical characterization of a gypseous soil: experimental and numerical studies
Gypseous soils have been widely considered problematic soils due to their unstable and detrimental behaviors, i.e. collapse upon wetting, fabric...
-
Linear and nonlinear approaches and statistical evaluations to predict the shear strength parameters and collapse potential of gypseous soils
Gypsum soils suffer from engineering problems of collapse, which occurs when an increase in moisture causes significant soil deformation in the...
