Surface tension acts at the interface of pore water and pore air inside any unsaturated rock,
independently of the gravity of the Earth.'This paper will focus on capillary forces caused by …

Drying-induced deformations of porous materials are ubiquitous phenomena, but coupled
behaviors of deformation and moisture distribution inside the material. In this paper, we …

The deformation behavior of Tage Tuff during desiccation was investigated. Strain as well as
compressional (P) and shear (S) wave velocities were measured concurrently in a set of …

The study was conducted to identify the anisotropic behavior of Tage tuff with heat and in
changing saturations. Ultrasonic wave based technique was used to identify the anisotropic …
