Staged Wetting and Contact Stress Redistribution Beneath a Segmented Hydraulic Structure on Collapsible Loess
Wetting-induced collapse of loess can produce large differential movements beneath irrigation structures even under modest nominal foundation pressure. This study investigates the coupled response of a segmented reinforced-concrete chute and its loess-based model foundation in a single 1:50 physical model explicitly in...
