Theoretical and applied fracture mechanics (Print), 2020
Factors such as rainfall and its diffusion into the ground and the subsequent drying cause alternating water–stone interactions leading to loosening of stones in long periods and catastrophic events such as landslides.

Abstract The erosion rates in the Vallcebre basin (Pyrenees) are controlled predominantly by the physical weathering rate of bare regolith, i.e. mudrocks. To obtain information on the influence of thermic and moisture regimes on the weathering dynamics, laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate how freezing—thawing or wetting—drying ...

Combined effects of salts and wetting–drying cycles on granite weathering
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2020Granite is one of the most applied building materials globally. Salt weathering affects the aesthetic properties of granite and reduces its durability. Accelerated granite weathering tests were conducted to study the combined effects of salts and wetting–drying cycles.

Experimental Study on the Effects of Wetting-Drying Cycles of Compacted Loess
Advanced Materials Research, 2013It rains more concentrated in the summer with high temperature and strong evaporation in Gansu province, wetting-drying cycles usually occur in the embankment. Different collapse and uneven settlement appeared on the embankment in loess areas. Based on those engineering disease, through wetting-drying cycles tests of compacted loess, results show that ...

Effect of Wet-Dry Cycling on Swelling and Hydraulic Conductivity of GCLs
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2000Atterberg limits, free swell, and hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted to assess how wet-dry cycling affects the plasticity and swell of bentonite, and the hydraulic conductivity of geosynth...

Water-retention curves of loess under wetting−drying cycles
Géotechnique Letters, 2019Water-retention curves (WRCs) of intact, compacted and reconstituted loess were investigated using a pressure plate extractor. All specimens were prepared having the same initial density and subjected to two cycles of drying and wetting in the suction range of 0−400 kPa.

The effects of repeated wet-dry cycles as a component of bone weathering
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018Abstract Subaerial weathering is a taphonomic process that affects many archaeological and paleontological bone assemblages and is characterized by surface bleaching, loss of organic component, and progressive cracking and splintering of the bones. Although the mechanisms of such changes are not well understood, previous research has indicated that ...
