Influence of Soil Wetting and Drying Cycles on Soil Detachment [PDF]
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.

Delayed compression and breakage of crushed mudstones due to the drying/wetting and temperature cycles [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesSoft 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.

Damage Features of Altered Rock Subjected to Drying-Wetting Cycles [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018 An abandoned open pit was used as a tailing pond for a concentrating mill, with the height of the water surface subject to cyclic fluctuation. The effects of drying and wetting cycles on the mechanical parameters of pit rock were tested.
