What is it about?
Any physical process can be described by partial differential equations. To resolve a problem like crack desiccation in clayey soils, the partial differential equations that describe it must be solved by a numerical method. This paper presents five methods to resolve this complex and important problem.

Why is it important?
The process of desiccation and cracking in clayey soils has important applications in civil engineering. It is a classical problem because of its complexity, so, it is yet an open field of research.
Perspectives
This paper is in part a state of the art to see in which direction the research about the solution of problems of crack desiccation in clayey soils.
