(a) Topographic map (2.5 m altitude near the limestone hill to 1.4 m altitude on K3A-B plot) of the cultivated field with location of the monitoring plots K1 to K3. (b) Schematic cross-section. = shrinkage limit; = plasticity limit; = liquidity limit. Dried = -to- behavior due to the surface desiccation; “primary” = initial liquid state; consolidated = -to- behavior due to the earth weight.
