Effect of wetting-drying cycles on soil desiccation cracking behaviour
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Better understanding the desiccation cracking process is essential in analysing drought effects on soil hydraulic and mechanical properties through consideration of the atmosphere-ground interaction.

Uranium storage mechanisms in wet-dry redox cycled sediments
Water Research, 2019 Biogeochemical redox processes that govern radionuclide mobility in sediments are highly sensitive to forcing by the water cycle. For example, episodic draining and intrusion of oxidants into reduced zones during dry seasons can create biogeochemical seasonal hotspots of enhanced and changed microbial activity, affect the redox status of minerals ...

Damage to the Microstructure and Strength of Altered Granite under Wet–Dry Cycles [PDF]
Symmetry, 2018 This paper presents an analytical method for surrounding rocks in symmetrically shaped tunnels or roadways, with the symmetrical rise and fall of groundwater over a certain period. The influence of reservoir water level on wet–dry cycles were studied.

Chloride Ion Penetration into Cracked UHPFRC During Wetting-drying Cycles
, 2021 The subject of this paper is the extent to which, during wetting–drying cycles, chloride ions can penetrate Ultra-high-Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) specimens subjected to combined mechanical and environmental load. Pre-cracking was obtained by subjecting prismatic specimens (40 × 40 × 60mm3) to four-point bending until ...

Experimental study on fully softened shear strength of expansive soil
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020 The fully softened strength tests are carried out on the expansive soil samples from the Yangtze-Huaihe River Water Transfer Project. The fully softened strength indexes under different moisture contents and shear rates are discussed and analyzed.

Effect of wet-dry cycles on shear strength of residual soil
Soils and Foundations, 2021 In order to investigate the relationship between the shear strength of residual soil and the number of repeated wet-dry cycles it underwent, the direct shear for different water content, different numbers of wet-dry cycles and different vertical stresses were examined.
