Impacts of gravels on the moisture evaporation and desiccation cracks in soil
Under extreme arid conditions, soil loses moisture and forms cracks, which significantly affect their mechanical and hydraulic properties (e.g., shear strength, soil structure, and hydraulic behavior). Natural soils commonly contain gravels. However, research on the effects of gravels on moisture evaporation and desicc...
