Hydraulic and volume change behaviors of compacted highly expansive soil under cyclic wetting and drying
2023, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical EngineeringCitation Excerpt :However, in engineering practice, examining the hydraulic and volume change behaviors of expansive soils is commonly considered under defined applied conditions. The behavior of expansive soils considering climatic change and environmental conditions (i.e. under cycles of wetting and drying (W/D)) has been the subject of intensive investigations during the last five decades (e.g. Chen, 1965; Popescu, 1980; Allam and Sridharan, 1981; Chen and Ma, 1987; Osipov et al., 1987; Subba Rao and Satyadas, 1987; Hanafy, 1991; Basma et al., 1994, 1995, 1996; Day, 1994; Al-Homoud et al., 1995; Rao et al., 2000; Tripathy et al., 2002; Wheeler et al., 2003; Alonso et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2006; Airò Farulla et al., 2007, 2010; Guney et al., 2007; Krisdani et al., 2008; Nowamooz and Masrouri, 2008, 2010; Mishra et al., 2008; Sajedi et al., 2008; Doostmohammadi et al., 2009; Nowamooz et al., 2009; Tawfiq and Nalbantoglu, 2009; Tripathy and Subba Rao, 2009; Zemenu et al., 2009; Baille et al., 2010; Yazdandoust and Yasrobi, 2010; Benchouk et al., 2013; Estabragh et al., 2013, 2015a, b, 2016; Umezaki and Kawamura, 2013; Akcanca and Aytekin, 2014; Wang and Wei, 2015; Wu et al., 2016; Rosenbalm and Zapata, 2017; Dong et al., 2019; Azizi et al., 2020; Julina and Thyagaraj, 2020; Ma et al., 2020; Qi et al., 2021; Thyagaraj and Julina, 2021; Wen et al., 2021). Table 1 lists the previous researches that had dealt with cyclic wetting and drying (CWD) for expansive soils with their objectives and test conditions.
Inhibition effect of swelling characteristics of expansive soil using cohesive non-swelling soil layer under unidirectional seepage
2020, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical EngineeringCitation Excerpt :It is generally accepted that the swelling potential of expansive soil significantly reduces after the drying-wetting cycle. However, the drying way has a marked effect on the swelling characteristics of expansive soil (Basma et al., 1994). Popescu (1980), Osipov et al. (1987), Day (1994), and Rosenbalm and Zapata (2017) showed that when the soil sample is subjected to full drying, the expansive soil tends to have higher swelling potential as the number of drying-wetting cycle increases.
High-resolution prediction of organic matter concentration with hyperspectral imaging on a sediment core
2019, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :However, in this 5 mm, there can be several lamina which are around 2 mm thick. Discrete samples were dried at 60 °C for 72 h then crushed (Basma et al., 1994). The uncertainty of this method is 0.14 wt% (α = 0.05, n = 63) for LOI550 values and 0.04 wt% (α = 0.05, n = 63) for LOI950 values.
Effects of drying on Atterberg limits of pyroclastic soils of Northern Turkey
2018, Applied Clay ScienceCitation Excerpt :The ratios of LLoven-dried/LLmoist were in the range of 0.88 to 0.97 for LLair-dried in the range of 30 to 61%. Some of these changes were explained by coagulation in microstructure of clayey soils (Jefferson and Rogers, 1998); physical aggregation and flocculation of particles after drying (Basma et al., 1994; Terzaghi et al., 1996; Jose et al., 2000; Sunil and Krishnappa, 2012); destruction of soil structure (Basma et al., 1994); nature of interparticle contacts and mineralogy (Jefferson and Rogers, 1998); oxidation or loss of water of crystallization or other chemical changes (Terzaghi et al., 1996; O'Kelly, 2005); organic substances acting as cementing/binding agents (Huang et al., 2009). The observed changes in Atterberg limits were reported to be permenant, i.e. there is irreversible dehydration of clay structure (Mitchell, 1993; Terzaghi et al., 1996; Jose et al., 2000; Sunil and Krishnappa, 2012; Ijaz et al., 2014).
Optimization of drying through analytical modeling: Clays as bonding agents in refractory materials
2016, Ceramics InternationalCitation Excerpt :Drying is an important step in the refractories fabrication, because the moisture removal combined with simultaneous heat and mass transfer between the material and the surrounding atmosphere can act destructively (e.g. spalling, cracking, explosive failure) [24]. The clay׳s drying procedure proceeds through stages characterized by: constant rate (initial weight loss and notable shrinkage) and decreasing rate (successive weight loss and minor shrinkage) [25–28]. The shrinkage might arouse the drying cracks in the samples.
