Concrete shrinkage and creep under drying/wetting cycles
Cement and Concrete Research, 2021 Abstract Concrete shrinkage and creep under variable hydric conditions are important factors for the safety and durability of concrete especially in nuclear reactor or nuclear waste storage background. A large (and long – more than 900 days) experimental campaign, conducted on two different concretes, has therefore been designed to study the strains ...

Effect of Dry‐Wet Cycling on the Mechanical Properties of High‐Water Materials [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 As a new grouting reinforcement material, high‐water materials (HWMs) are being increasingly applied in different fields. This means that the environment in which these HWMs are employed are varied and increasingly complex. The dehydrating and saturation cycle of HWM caused by changes in the environment is referred to as the dry‐wet cycle.

Study on the Deterioration of Concrete under Dry–Wet Cycle and Sulfate Attack [PDF]
Materials, 2020 In order to study the deterioration and mechanism of dry–wet cycles and sulfate attack on the performance of concrete in seaside and saline areas, the deterioration of compressive strength of concrete with different water cement ratios under different erosion environments (sodium sulfate soaking at room temperature and coupling of dry–wet cycling and ...

Influence of Drying–Wetting Cycles on the Water Retention and Microstructure of Residual Soil
Geofluids, 2022 Due to frequent changes in the humid and hot environment, the residual soil with a particle-size distribution (PSD) from gravel to clay experiences multiple drying–wetting cycles.

The Uniaxial Creep Characteristics of Red Sandstone under Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 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

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.
