Shear creep experiments and modeling of granite under dry-wet cycling
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2021Repeated dry-wet cycling can substantially alter rock mechanical properties, which poses a serious risk to the safety and stability of geotechnical engineering projects. Shear creep tests were performed on granite samples subjected to dry-wet cycling to determine the performance deterioration and variation of creep properties under hydraulic weathering

Impact of wetting and drying cycles on soil structure dynamics
Geoderma, 2019Abstract Soil structure is not static but undergoes continuous changes due to a wide range of biotic and abiotic drivers such as bioturbation and the mechanical disturbance by tillage. This continuous alteration of soil structure beyond the pure swelling and shrinking of some stable structure is what we refer to as soil structure dynamics.

Environmental (wet and dry) cycling of hydraulic lime mortars [PDF]
, 2013 This study investigates the impact moisture control has on the aftercare of freshly manufactured hydraulic lime mortars by wet and dry cycling. Mechanical properties were monitored by periodic compressive testing and the extent of carbonation by phenolphthalein staining of cross sections.

Dry shrinkage cracking and permeability of biopolymer-modified clay under dry–wet cycles
Environmental GeotechnicsBiopolymers efficiently improve the anti-seepage function of compacted clay layers, but research concerning the permeability stability of biopolymer-modified clay during cyclic wetting and drying is scarce. In this paper, the macro–microstructures and the permeability coefficients of biopolymer-modified clay and conventional bentonite-modified clay ...

Enhanced irreversible fixation of cesium by wetting and drying cycles in soil
Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2018The retention of radioactive cesium (Cs) in soil is significantly related to the types of clay minerals, while the weathering process affects the irreversible adsorption sites in clay minerals. In this study, the effect of weathering (exposure duration of Cs and repeated wetting and drying cycles) on fractionation of Cs in soils was investigated using ...

Hydraulic Conductivity of Modified Bentonites After Wet and Dry Cycles
2018Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are often used as barriers for landfill liners and cover systems due to the high swelling ability of the bentonite in water that results in low hydraulic conductivity. However, contact with electrolyte solutions and leachate can impede the osmotic swelling of the bentonite and cause an increase in both liquid and ...

Collapse/Swell Potential of Residual Laterite Soil Due to Wetting and Drying-wetting Cycles
National Academy Science Letters, 2014Lack of consideration in the soil behaviors related to drying and wetting phenomenon namely volume change and collapsibility may cause damages to foundations, buildings, and other structures. This research reports an experimental work carried out to examine the collapsibility behavior of residual laterite soils under cyclic drying and wetting process ...

Combined effects of salts and wetting–drying cycles on granite weathering
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2020Granite is one of the most applied building materials globally. Salt weathering affects the aesthetic properties of granite and reduces its durability. Accelerated granite weathering tests were conducted to study the combined effects of salts and wetting–drying cycles.
