in this research the mechanical behavior of an expansive soil (with different pore fluid) was investigated under the constant and variable temperature through experimental tests. the soil samples with different pore fluid (distilled water, nacl and cacl2 with concentration of 250 gr/lit) were prepared by static compaction method. experimental testes were conducted in two modified odometer under...

This study aimed to explore the use of additives in soil–cement mixtures that have undergone a wetting-drying cycle. In total, two types soil were used, granitic and lateritic, which are widely used road base construction Katingan area, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The cement was ordinary Portland type I, while additive utilized for commercial purposes, predominantly contained CaCl2. research...

Wetting and drying (W-D) cycles are responsible for significant changes in soil structure. Soil often undergoes irreversible affecting infiltration solute retention through W-D cycles. Thus, it becomes essential to evaluate how soils under natural conditions altered by This study analyzed two non-cultivated (from grassland secondary forest) Oxisols (Typic Hapludox Rhodic Hapludox) of different ...

The loess in Yili Valley is prone to landslides the rainy season. We studied influence law of shrinkage and microstructure under different wetting drying cycles. Considering climatic conditions sampling depth study area, tests were carried out six kinds dry wet cycling paths. fracture changes characteristics dry–wet times analyzed, deformation during process water-loss discussed. results show t...

This study investigated the crack propagation law of expansive soil slopes under drying–wetting conditions and influence cracks on by conducting a large-scale indoor slope test subjected to cycles. The change in moisture content at different depths during cycles was monitored using sensor, variation drying process measured depth detector. slope’s surface were processed self-made binarization pr...

• The degradation of performance after wetting and drying cycles is quantified through a stress-dilatancy approach. extent the function intensity cycles. process varies as binder dosage. results highlight role imposed wetting/drying technique for better assessment long-term treated soils. core objective this study to analyse impact protocol on mechanical behaviour cement-treated sand. two types...
