Abstract: The presence of water and salt transport in complex hydrochemical environments allows for continuous changes in the suction state of clay (matric suction, osmotic suction, and their interactions). The interaction between ...

Abstract: The interaction mechanism between matric suction and osmotic suction was clarified through the analysis of certain physicochemical effects on unsaturated saline clay. The Young–Laplace equation for unsaturated saline clay ...

Abstract: The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau shows an obvious trend of warming and humidification, and the increased rainfall is mainly concentrated in the summer. There have been few reports on the effects of summer rainfall variations on ...
