Triaxial shear behavior of basalt fiber reinforced loess under drying−wetting cycles
Rock and Soil Mechanics, 2022 In this paper, the digital image based triaxial shear test, computed tomography (CT) scanning test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test were employed to investigate triaxial shear behavior and microstructure evolution of basalt fiber reinforced ...

A wetting and drying scheme for ROMS [PDF]
Computers & Geosciences, 2013 The processes of wetting and drying have many important physical and biological impacts on shallow water systems. Inundation and dewatering effects on coastal mud flats and beaches occur on various time scales ranging from storm surge, periodic rise and fall of the tide, to infragravity wave motions.

Climatic forcing for recent significant terrestrial drying and wetting [PDF]
, 2019 Terrestrial water storage (TWS) experienced a substantial change in the past few decades as detected by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). However, the major causes of this change remain unclear, and none of the current state-of-the-art

Study on safety and stability of high altitude dump under severe drying-wetting alternation.
PLoS ONE, 2022 This study aimed to reveal the impact of the severe drying-wetting process on the safety and stability of high-altitude dumps. Numerical calculations were conducted for the open mining dump of limestone mines for cement in high-altitude mining areas. The

Sliding Friction on Wet and Dry Sand [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 We show experimentally that the sliding friction on sand is greatly reduced by the addition of some-but not too much-water. The formation of capillary water bridges increases the shear modulus of the sand, which facilitates the sliding. Too much water, on the other hand, makes the capillary bridges coalesce, resulting in a decrease of the modulus; in ...

Impact of wetting-drying cycles on hydro-mechanical behavior of an unsaturated compacted clay [PDF]
, 2013 To further our understanding on the impact of wetting-drying cycles on the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils, this paper presents experimental results from suction-controlled isotropic compression tests on an unsaturated compacted clay ...
