Overview of Stability and Failure Characteristics of Expansive Soil Bank Slope

Abstract

Expansive soil is a type of special clay that expands and softens after water absorption and shrinks and cracks after water loss. It tends to cause engineering accidents such as slope deformation and landslide damage. This paper summarizes the interaction between three engineering properties of expansive soil as well as the slope failure characteristics based on case analysis. In this way, this paper can contribute its share to the design, construction and operation management of the expansive soil bank slope.
