Evolution of the disintegration breakage of red-bed soft rock using a logistic regression model

Transportation Geotechnics, 2020
The disintegration of red-bed soft rock is closely associated with a series of geological disasters. However, research on the evolution of the disintegration breakage has not yet been sufficiently executed.

Experimental study of loess disintegration characteristics

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2019
Loess structures with large joints and fissures often undergo natural disintegration when subjected to contact with water. The slaking of loess results in the formation of loess gullies, caves, and landslides.

The role of pH in red-stratum mudstone disintegration in the Three Gorges reservoir area, China, and the associated micromechanisms

, 2020
The well-known slide-prone red-stratum mudstones in the Three Gorges reservoir (TGR) area are currently undergoing sharp changes in (i) water level driven by the impounding/discharging operation of the Three Gorges dam and (ii) the rain/water H ...

Disintegration behaviour of bio-based plastics in coastal zone marine environments: A field experiment under natural conditions.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
The accumulation of plastic wastes in the marine environment represents a steadily increasing global environmental threat. The replacement of conventional plastics with bio-based biodegradable materials may contribute to alleviating the problem in the ...
