Suction controlled wetting-drying cycles on a compacted scaly clay

2005
Due to their structural features and natural water content, scaly clays are being used in Sicily in the construction of core earth dams and waste isolation fills. A reliable design of the earth constructions requires the characterisation of the behaviour of the compacted scaly clay in unsaturated conditions.

Moisture transport in concrete during wetting/drying cycles

Chemistry and Materials Research, 2013
An accurate description of moisture transport in concrete is significant to determine the service life of a concrete structure. Many authors managed to describe the global moisture transport in concrete during wetting/drying cycles by using Fick’s laws of diffusion.

Effect of Wet‐Dry Cycles on the Loading–Unloading Damage of Granite

Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures
ABSTRACTInvestigating the effect of wet‐dry (W‐D) cycling on loading–unloading damage is crucial for ensuring the stability of granite slopes in mountainous areas prone to strong earthquakes. This study conducted a series of W‐D cycling and loading–unloading tests on granite samples, complemented by weight measurements, wave velocity assessments, and ...

Effective stress in swelling soils during wetting drying cycles

Engineering Geology, 2016
Abstract In this study, the cyclic evolution of an effective stress parameter χ is determined for different swelling soils. This parameter can be modelled using the macro-, meso- and microscales in interaction, stemming from mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests.

Instrument for Wetting-Drying Cycles of Expansive Soil Under Loads

2018
In this study, an instrument is developed to study the effect of wetting-drying cycles on the shear strength of expansive soil. The testing error of the developed device is investigated as well. By using this device, the water content of soil sample can be accurately controlled, and the vertical loads at different soil depths can be simulated.
