Abstract:The tensile strength of granite residual soil has different changing laws during the wetting and drying process which often appears after rainfall. The microscopic relationship between tensile strength, bond force, and absorbed suction was studied using a self-developed soil tensile strength tester. The results show the following. (1) The change in tensile strength with saturation is a convex curve with a peak; according to the drying and wetting path, there are differences in peak value and amplitude of varia… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
