Failure mechanism of canal lining in expansive clay

Kassiff, G. / Etkin, A. / Zeitlen, J.G.

Results of study, in which field measurements of moisture, movement, and swelling pressure variations underneath concrete canal lining in expansive clay were made, are presented; in theoretical analysis of mechanism and mode of failure, it is suggested that rupture of concrete plates may be explained by bending caused by eccentricity of compressive forces originating from swelling pressures exerted on structure in both horizontal and vertical directions; reasonable correlation was obtained between field measurements and theoretical approach, making possible quantitative analysis of actual failure that occurred.
