Mechanism of strength deterioration of red sandstone on reservoir bank slopes under the action of dry–wet cycles

Abstract To investigate the micro-scale mechanism of strength deterioration under different times of dry–wet cycles, laboratory tests of physical properties, triaxial compression, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted on red sandstone on reservoir bank slopes....
