The Uniaxial Creep Characteristics of Red Sandstone under Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]
Water is one of the most important factors that affect the long‐term stability of geotechnical engineering structures. Rainfall often results in periodic changes in the water content in underground rock, which is subjected to alternating dry‐wet cycles. In this paper, in order to study the short‐term and long‐term mechanical properties of red sandstone

Damage Features of Altered Rock Subjected to Drying‐Wetting Cycles [PDF]
An abandoned open pit was used as a tailing pond for a concentrating mill, with the height of the water surface subject to cyclic fluctuation. The effects of drying and wetting cycles on the mechanical parameters of pit rock were tested. Interactions of the hydrochemical environment, due to the dissolution of tailings, and drying and wetting cycles ...

Mechanical Properties of Weathered Feldspar Sandstone after Experiencing Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]
Weathering is one of the important geological hazards to many stone cultural relics carved on feldspar sandstone (such as the Datong Yungang Grottoes). To study the mechanical properties of the weathered Yungang Grottoes, feldspar sandstone was subjected to comparative dry‐wet cycle tests with water‐rock interaction (Group A) and salt‐rock interaction (

Deterioration of the Internal Structure of Loess under Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]
To understand the structural damage evolution process of loess under the action of dry‐wet cycles, a triaxial test of a dry‐wet cycle was performed by considering three influencing factors: initial moisture content, amplitude of the dry‐wet cycle, and number of dry‐wet cycles.

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Expansive Clay under Drying–Wetting Cycle
Expansive clay is one of the most widely distributed soils in the world. Due to its rich content of strongly hydrophilic minerals—such as montmorillonite—expansive clay exhibits substantial swelling and shrinkage properties, and overconsolidation.

Evolution of desiccation cracking behavior of clays under drying-wetting cycles
Soils usually experience multiple drying-wetting cycles in nature, which can have a significant impact on the engineering properties of soils. Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of drying-wetting cycles on the initiation and ...

Influence of Soil Wetting and Drying Cycles on Soil Detachment
Agricultural soils undergo periods of saturation followed by desiccation throughout the course of a growing season. It is believed that these periods of wetting and drying influence soil structure and may affect the rate of soil detachment.
