Influence of Soil Wetting and Drying Cycles on Soil Detachment
AgriEngineering, 2022 Agricultural soils undergo periods of saturation followed by desiccation throughout the course of a growing season. It is believed that these periods of wetting and drying influence soil structure and may affect the rate of soil detachment.

Volume Changes and Mechanical Properties of Expansive Mudstone below Canals under Wet‐Dry/Wet‐Dry‐Freeze‐Thaw Cycles [PDF]
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 The complex environment in northern China is the main reason for degradation of expansive mudstone below the canals, which resulted in instability and damage of canal slopes. In this study, a serial of laboratory tests was conducted to explore the volume changes and mechanical behaviors of expansive mudstone below the canals in Xinjiang.

Concrete shrinkage and creep under drying/wetting cycles
Cement and Concrete Research, 2021 Abstract Concrete shrinkage and creep under variable hydric conditions are important factors for the safety and durability of concrete especially in nuclear reactor or nuclear waste storage background. A large (and long – more than 900 days) experimental campaign, conducted on two different concretes, has therefore been designed to study the strains ...
