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

E3S 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.

The manufacture of natural hydraulic limes: Influence of raw materials' composition, calcination and slaking in the crystal-chemical properties of binders

Cement and Concrete Research
This study aims to achieve an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing process of natural hydraulic lime (NHL) by assessing the influence of raw materials' chemical-mineralogical composition and the effect of the slaking process.

Experimental study on moisture migration law of soils under dynamic slaking conditions

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Understanding the moisture migration mechanisms in railway subgrade soils under dynamic slaking (D-S) is critical for elucidating the formation mechanisms of frost heave and mud pumping defects in heavy-haul railways.

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.
