Drought‐Induced Soil Desiccation Cracking Behavior With Consideration of Basal Friction and Layer Thickness

Drought‐induced cracking of soils is of great concern with the advent of global climate change. The cracking process accelerates the evaporation rate of pore water, lowers the water retention capacity, and degrades the hydraulic‐mechanical properties of soils. Basal friction and layer thickness are...
