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.

Effect of Drying and Wetting SWCCs on Unsaturated Soil Slopes [PDF]
, 2021 The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) exhibits hysteresis. It is the relation between soil water and soil suction. Desorption (drying) and sorption (wetting) can be used to obtain SWCC. The suction is different in drying and wetting SWCC paths.
