Fracture behavior and damage mechanisms of sandstone subjected to wetting-drying cycles

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2020
Rocks are usually subjected to cyclic wetting-drying due to the periodical changes in moist condition. To investigate the effect of wetting-drying cycles on the fracture behavior of sandstone, notched semi-circular bending tests were performed on ...

Dimensional variations of Roman masonry subjected to wetting-drying cycles [PDF]

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

Effect of wetting–drying cycles on mode I and mode II fracture toughness of cement mortar and concrete

Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, 2020
Cement mortar and concrete are affected by wetting–drying cycles due to variable precipitation and evaporation rates and changes in the level of water reservoirs in most development projects such as dam construction projects.

Influence of wetting–drying cycles on the compression behavior of a compacted loess from microstructure analysis [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2022
This study explores the compression deformation characteristics of compacted loess after different wetting–drying (WD) cycles, by tracking microstructure changes by scanning electron microscope (SEM), laser particle size analyzer, Fourier transform ...

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 ...

Study on damage evolution and constitutive model of sandstone under the coupled effects of wetting-drying cycles and cyclic loading

Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2021
A constitutive model for damage is proposed to describe the deformation and strength characteristics of sandstone under the coupled effects of wetting-drying cycles and cyclic loading.
