Electrical resistivity evolution of compacted silty clay under drying−wetting cycles sequentially coupled with dynamic loads

open access: yesRock and Soil Mechanics, 2021
The performance evolution of subgrade soil under the coupling effect of drying?wetting cycle and dynamic load is essential for the safety and stability of the subgrade.

Wettability decay in an oil-contaminated waste-mineral mixture with dry-wet cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The dependency of soil particle wettability on soil water content implies that soils subjected to drying-wetting cycles become wettable with wetting and water repellent with drying.

Delayed compression and breakage of crushed mudstones due to the drying/wetting and temperature cycles [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Soft 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.

Deterioration Characteristic and Constitutive Model of Red-Bed Argillaceous Siltstone Subjected to Drying-Wetting Cycles

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
Red-bed argillaceous siltstone is one of main types of rocks composing unstable slopes on both banks of water diversion project from the Yangtze to Huaihe River and is prone to deterioration after subjected to drying-wetting cycle conditions during water

Degradation mechanism of shear strength and compressive strength of red sandstone in drawdown areas during reservoir operation

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
So far, the researches on the degradation of macroscopic strength of rock under cyclic wetting-drying conditions in the course of reservoir operation mainly focus on simulations of single environmental conditions without considering the combined actions ...

Sandstone Slope Stability Analysis Under Wetting-Drying Cycles Based on Generalized Hoek-Brown Failure Criterion

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The deterioration of rock strength due to cyclic fluctuations in the groundwater level in drawdown regions influences bank slope stability. Based on wetting–drying cycling and uniaxial compression tests of sandstone specimens, the intact rock strength ...

Reversible and irreversible dimensional changes of heat-treated wood during alternate wetting and drying [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Statistical Damage Model of Altered Granite under Dry-Wet Cycles [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2019
This paper presents a new statistical damage constitutive model using symmetric normal distribution. The broken rock microbody obeyed symmetric normal distribution and the equivalent strain principle in damage mechanics. The uniaxial compression tests of samples subjected to dry-wet cycles were performed.

Impact of Wetting–Drying Cycles on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Wood Waste–Gypsum Composites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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.

Effect of Dry‐Wet Cycles and Freeze‐Thaw Cycles on the Antierosion Ability of Fiber‐Reinforced Loess [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021
Compared with plain soil, polypropylene (PP) fiber‐reinforced soil has markedly improved mechanical properties and can be used in slope protection projects. To investigate the reduction law of the antierosion ability parameters of PP fiber‐reinforced loess under dry‐wet (D‐W) cycles and freeze‐thaw (F‐T) cycles, we took loess from Yan’an, China, mixed ...
