A good understanding of the soil strength profile under wetting–drying (W–D) cycles is essential when studying the hydro-mechanical response of soils under the effects of precipitation and evaporation. In this investigation, initially saturated slurry specimens were prepared and subjected to three W–D cycles. A micro-penetrometer was used to characterize the effect of W–D cycles on soil mechanical...
Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of wetting–drying (W–D) cycles on the initiation and evolution of cracks in clay layer. Four identical slurry specimens were prepared and subjected to five subsequent W–D cycles. The water evaporation, surface cracks evolution and structure evolution during the W–D cycles were monitored. The effect of W–D cycles on the geometric characteristics...
