Unlocking changing clay behaviour: insights from nano-tomography of evolving soil fabric
Cyclic loading in normally consolidated clay generates excess pore pressure that, upon dissipation, produces post-cyclic volumetric strains consistently larger than those predicted by the classical unload–reload line. Although this macroscopic behaviour has been well documented, its microstructural origin remains unres...
