Effects of Sodium Sulfate Attack on Concrete Incorporated with Drying‐Wetting Cycles [PDF]
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 ...

Effect of weathering on disintegration and shear strength reduction of clay shale [PDF]
Frequent and strong atmosphere and hydrosphere reactions accelerate weathering of clay shale. This study was carried out to determine the effects of frequent natural drying and wetting-drying cycles on clay shales in every 8 days until the value of ...

Impact of Wetting–Drying Cycles on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Wood Waste–Gypsum Composites [PDF]
Large amounts of wood waste are generated each year in the world. In an attempt to identify a good recovery option for those residues, wood waste from construction and demolition works were used as raw materials in gypsum plasters.

Study on the Mechanical Properties of Red Clay under Drying‐Wetting Cycles [PDF]
To study the mechanical properties of red clay under repeated dry and wet cycle test conditions, in this paper, the disturbed red clay in an engineering area in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, was taken as the research object. By artificially controlling different dry and wet cycles in the laboratory, a direct shear test and triaxial consolidation drainage ...

Experimental analysis of 3D cracking in drying soils using ground-penetrating radar [PDF]
This paper describes the capabilities of a novel technique to investigate crack formation and propagation in drying soils. The technique is a relatively simple, non-destructive indirect technique using a ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) system to detect ...

Permeability and Microstructure of a Saline Intact Loess after Dry‐Wet Cycles [PDF]
Influenced by both dry‐wet cycles and salt weathering, the loess will exhibit significant changes in microstructure and permeability, which threatens the stability of loess slopes. Triaxial permeability tests and industrial computed tomography (CT) scans were carried out on saline intact loess with sodium sulfate.
