Microstructural evolution of expansive clay during drying–wetting cycle

Acta Geotechnica, 2020
This paper presents a comprehensive investigation on the microstructural evolutions of expansive clay during a drying–wetting cycle, including pore size distribution (PSD) via mercury intrusion porosimetry and water distribution via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

Drying-wetting cycles consistently increase net nitrogen mineralization in 25 agricultural soils across intensity and number of drying-wetting cycles

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
An increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and extreme drought causes intensive and frequent drying-wetting (DW) cycles, which have strong effects on the availability of nitrogen (N) for plant growth and development. How the effects of DW cycles on N turnover vary with the intensity and number of DW cycles and soil properties has not ...

Evolution of mechanical behaviours of an expansive soil during drying-wetting, freeze–thaw, and drying-wetting-freeze–thaw cycles

Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2021
This paper investigates the volumetric, microstructural, and shear behaviours of an expansive soil during multiple drying-wetting (DW), freeze–thaw (FT), and drying-wetting-freeze–thaw (DWFT) cycles. Specimens compacted at natural moisture content and dry density were subjected to 1, 4, 6, and 10 DW, FT, or DWFT cycles. Volumetric changes were recorded
