Effect of Wetting-Drying Cycles on Mechanical Behaviour and Electrical Resistivity of Unsaturated Subgrade Soil [PDF]

open access: goldAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
Compacted soil is widely used in road and railway subgrade, while alternation of seasons can cause fluctuations in moisture content of soil (i.e., wetting-drying cycles) and influence the performance of soil.

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

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Soft 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.

Why “Wet to Dry”? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the American College of Certified Wound Specialists, 2009
Prior to the 1960s, clinicians commonly believed the perfect wound healing environment was dry and dressings simply plugged and concealed ulcers. However, research in recent decades has confirmed that a moist wound environment where dressings have the opportunity to interact with the wound helped promote healing and reduced the risk of pain and ...

Wettability decay in an oil-contaminated waste-mineral mixture with dry-wet cycles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The dependency of soil particle wettability on soil water content implies that soils subjected to drying-wetting cycles become wettable with wetting and water repellent with drying.
