Abstract

In order to study the influence of different clay contents on the fractality of red clay, specimens having four different water contents were prepared. The cracking characteristics of the specimens were observed at 20 °C and 60 °C. Image J software was used to measure and calculate the crack area, crack ratio, crack length and width of each sample. The test results showed that the development of cracks in red clay could be divided into three stages: crack generation, crack development and crack stabilization. The clay particle content, temperature and water content have significant effects on crack development, and from the test analyses, it was determined that for construction in the Guilin area, it is necessary to pay attention to drainage protection.
