Time-Dependence of the Mechanical Behavior of Loess after Dry-Wet Cycles

Time-Dependence of the Mechanical Behavior of Loess after Dry-Wet Cycles

The structure, time-dependent mechanical deformation, and strength characteristics of loess, which is loose and porous with well-developed vertical joints, are greatly affected by the dry-wet cycles, which are attributed to periodic artificial irrigation, rainfall, and water evaporation. To better u...
