Damage in porous media due to salt crystallization [PDF]
, 2010 We investigate the origins of salt damage in sandstones for the two most common salts: sodium chloride and sulfate. The results show that the observed difference in damage between the two salts is directly related to the kinetics of crystallization and ...

Effects of Sodium Sulfate Attack on Concrete Incorporated with Drying‐Wetting Cycles [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 It has been widely observed that sulfate attack can damage the durability of concrete. This research investigated the mass loss and damage degree of concrete under sodium sulfate attack incorporated with drying‐wetting cycles. The impact factors, including water‐binder ratio, solution concentration of sodium sulfate, fly ash content, curing time, and ...

Influence of Soil Wetting and Drying Cycles on Soil Detachment
AgriEngineering, 2022 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.

Delayed compression and breakage of crushed mudstones due to the drying/wetting and temperature cycles [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoft sedimentary rocks, especially mudstones, disintegrated or crumbled when subjected to cyclic drying and wetting, known as slaking, which was the cause of severe slope failures and ground settlement.

Reversible and irreversible dimensional changes of heat-treated wood during alternate wetting and drying [PDF]
, 2017 Spruce wood specimens were heat-treated in saturated water vapor (steaming) and in the absence of moisture (dry heating) at 120–180 °C, and their wet volumes were measured during alternate wetting and drying cycles.
