Wetting-drying cycle effect on the compressibility of lime-treated soil accounting for wetting fluid nature and aggregate size

open access: yesEngineering Geology, 2022
International audienceThe durability, which refers to the ability of earthen structures to ensure their functionality over time while maintaining their required mechanical performance, is a key issue in evaluating the effectiveness of lime treatment.

Modelling Wet-Dry Cycles in the Binary Polymer Model

2023
A key question concerning the origin of life is whether polymers, such as nucleic acids and proteins, can spontaneously form in prebiotic conditions. Several studies have shown that, by alternating (i) a phase in which a system is in a water-rich condition and (ii) one in which there is a relatively small amount of water, it is possible to achieve ...

Water State of Soil Experienced Wetting–Drying Cycles

Indian Geotechnical Journal, 2020
Owing to rainfall and evaporation in nature’s water succession, clay soil inevitably experiences wetting–drying cycles. In the present study, experiments are carried out to investigate variations in the water state (i.e., adsorbed and bulk) during the wetting process and again after experiencing 0–4 wetting–drying cycles.

Dimensional variations of Roman masonry subjected to wetting-drying cycles

Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites, 2001
AbstractMany Roman monuments made of opus caementicium are subjected to wetting and drying phenomena caused by water or/and humidity from the ground. The action of water impregnation on the hypothetical dimensional changes in this Roman concrete has not been considered in the literature and no experimental data are available.The purpose of this work ...

Structure Repair of a Compacted Vertisol with Wet‐Dry Cycles and Crops

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1999
Abstract We hypothesized that the four rotation crops: wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Merr.], lablab [ Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] and mung bean [
