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...

Thirty three re-wetting tests were conducted at different combinations of temperatures (5.746.3C) and relative humidites (48.2-88.6%) with barley. Two most commonly used thinlayer drying and rewetting models i.e. Page and Diffusion were compared for their ability to the fit the experimental re-wetting data based on the standard error of estimate (SEE) of the measured and simulated moisture cont...

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...

Lime treatment can enhance the workability and hydro-mechanical properties of soil through different physical-chemical reactions. Nevertheless, beneficiary effect lime be altered when was exposed to wetting-drying cycles, depending on wetting fluid state. In present study, changes in small strain shear modulus (Gmax) microstructure a compacted lime-treated silt under cycles were studied. The un...
