The Influence of Pre-Existing Tension Cracks on the Stability of Unsupported Temporary Excavations in Stratified Hard Clays: Case Study of Corfu Island, Northwestern Greece

The Influence of Pre-Existing Tension Cracks on the Stability of Unsupported Temporary Excavations in Stratified Hard Clays: Case Study of Corfu Island, Northwestern Greece

Slope failures in overconsolidated hard clays present significant geotechnical challenges, particularly in stratified formations prone to pre-existing discontinuities. Despite extensive research on residual shear strength and fissuring in stiff clays, the role of undetected tension cracks and their...
