Measuring and modeling of shrinkage characteristic naturalsoil in Kuantan Pahang

One of uses of clayey soil in engineering is as liner material. Natural soil containing clay minerals are often used as cheaper alternatives. Clayey soil undergoes shrinkage during drying with water content changes. Water content changes during wetting undergo swelling. Shrinkage cracks are major pr...
