Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Expansive Clay under Drying–Wetting Cycle
Applied Sciences, 2023 Expansive clay is one of the most widely distributed soils in the world. Due to its rich content of strongly hydrophilic minerals—such as montmorillonite—expansive clay exhibits substantial swelling and shrinkage properties, and overconsolidation.

Influence of Soil Wetting and Drying Cycles on Soil Detachment
AgriEngineering, 2022 Agricultural soils undergo periods of saturation followed by desiccation throughout the course of a growing season. It is believed that these periods of wetting and drying influence soil structure and may affect the rate of soil detachment.

Cracking of silty mudstone subjected to wetting-drying cycles
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical EngineeringCracking affected by wetting-drying cycles is a major cause of shallow failure of soft rock slopes. Knowledge of rock tensile properties and cracking behaviors helps better assess the stability of soft rock slopes. This study aims to examine the cracking
