Experimental study on influences of wetting-drying cycles on microstructure and water-retention characteristics of clay

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The Long-term wetting-drying cycles can weaken the engineering characteristics of subgrade fillers, resulting in engineering disasters. It is necessary to study the effects of the wetting-drying cycles on their microstructure and water-retention ...

Influence of cyclic wetting‐drying on the mechanical strength characteristics of coal samples: A laboratory‐scale study

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2019
Water‐coal interactions have gained much recent attention, although few studies focus on the strength of coal under wetting‐drying cycles. This study investigates changes in the microstructure and mechanical strength of coal that are induced by water ...

Study on Strength Attenuation Characteristics of Residual Expansive Soil under Wetting-Drying Cycles and Low Stress and Its Relationship with Shallow Landslide

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
The rapid development of expansive soil fissures and the attenuation of strength under the action of repeated atmospheric wetting-drying cycles have a very adverse impact on the shallow stability of expansive soil slope.

Impact of wetting/drying cycles on the hydromechanical behaviour of a treated soil [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The positive effects of lime or cement treatment could be altered by weathering in the very long term. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of wetting/drying cycles on the strength and the hydraulic conductivity of a ...
