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 ...

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).

Interior Humidity of Concrete under Dry-Wet Cycles

Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2012
The dry-wet cycle is one of the aggressive environmental conditions suffered by concrete. This paper focuses on the experimental study and theoretical simulation of water distribution in normal- and high-strength concrete through dry-wet cycles. The experimental results show that under dry-wet cycles, the variation in the interior humidity of concrete ...

Creep damage properties of sandstone under dry-wet cycles

Journal of Mountain Science, 2020
Rock creep properties can be used to predict the long-term stability in rock engineering. In reservoir bank slopes, sandstones which are frequently used in the bank slope undergoing long-term effects of dry-wet (DW) cycles due to periodic water inundation and drainage may gradually accumulate creep deformation, resulting in rock structure’s damage or ...
