Effect of Wet-Dry Cycles on the Mechanical Performances and Microstructure of Pisha Sandstone
Molecules, 2023 The effects of the wet–dry cycles on the chemical compositions, microstructure, and mechanical properties of Pisha sandstone were experimentally investigated in the current study. A series of uniaxial compression tests were conducted to validate the deterioration of the mechanical property of specimens after wet–dry cycles.

Impact of Wet-Dry Cycling on the Phase Behavior and Compartmentalization Properties of Complex Coacervates [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Abstract Wet-dry cycling on the early Earth is thought to have facilitated production of molecular building blocks of life, but its impact on self-assembly and compartmentalization remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate dehydration/rehydration of complex coacervates, which are membraneless compartments formed by phase ...

The Role of Additives in Soil-Cement Subjected to Wetting-Drying Cycles [PDF]
Infrastructures, 2021 This study aimed to explore the use of additives in soil–cement mixtures that have undergone a wetting-drying cycle. In total, two types of soil were used, granitic and lateritic, which are widely used in road base construction in the Katingan area, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
