Shrinkage cracking and strength deterioration of red clay under cyclic drying and wetting

Taking the red clay from Guilin, China as the object, this paper prepares red clay samples with different initial water contents, extracts the crack parameters from the images on the samples under cyclic drying and wetting through image processing, and analyzes the laws of crack development. In addi...
