Evolving fracture patterns: columnar joints, mud cracks, and polygonal terrain [PDF]

, 2013
When cracks form in a thin contracting layer, they sequentially break the layer into smaller and smaller pieces. A rectilinear crack pattern encodes information about the order of crack formation, as later cracks tend to intersect with earlier cracks at ...

Relationships between leaf and root area indices and soil suction induced during drying-wetting cycles [PDF]

, 2016
The stability and serviceability of geotechnical infrastructure may be affected by plant-induced soil suction during drying-wetting cycles, because an increase in suction would reduce hydraulic conductivity and also increase shear strength.

Aging of recycled aggregates mortars by drying-wetting cycles

Construction and Building Materials, 2021
ABSTRACT: Due to the large amount of CO2 emissions produced nowadays by the construction sector, the scientific community is looking for measures that will bring constructions to the be as environmental-friendly as possible. One of the most popular lines of research is the use of construction waste as recycled aggregates for the production of recycled ...

Experimental analysis of 3D cracking in drying soils using ground-penetrating radar [PDF]

, 2017
This paper describes the capabilities of a novel technique to investigate crack formation and propagation in drying soils. The technique is a relatively simple, non-destructive indirect technique using a ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) system to detect ...

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

Energy 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 ...
