Vallejo, Luis E.
Soil Fracture Mechanics: Understanding Crack Propagation and Interaction in Soil Failure applies the concepts of fracture mechanics to the interaction and propagation of cracks in clay soils. While the most widespread methods of modeling and analysis lead to more conservative and higher security factors, the understanding of fundamentals and correct application of this theory to soils leads to more reliable and cost effective designs for slope...
