Experimental Study on Wetting Behavior in Aeolian Sand

Abstract

AbstractAeolian sand exhibits considerable strength when dry and experiences sudden settling when submerged. To study its deformation behavior after immersion in water, a series of oedometric compression tests, isotropic compression tests, and triaxial ...Practical ApplicationsSand, as an important building material, is widely employed in practical engineering projects. The dry and wet states of the materials are a critical factor affecting their mechanical behavior. Until now, there has been controversy ...The Graphical Abstract consists of three sections. The first section illustrates the engineering background and sampling locations. The second section demonstrates the stress paths of the single-line method and double-line method, providing an intuitive ...
