Investigating the damage degradation of rock during the freezing and thawing process is
more consistent with the actual engineering environment, considering its internal initial …

The surface hydration is one of the main reasons for the difficulty of coal slurry water
sedimentation and dewatering, the Density functional theory (DFT) and Molecular dynamics …

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation on the microstructural evolutions of
expansive clay during a drying–wetting cycle, including pore size distribution (PSD) via …

The previous researches mainly focused on the freeze-thaw damage of fully saturated rocks.
However, most of the nature rocks experience incomplete water saturation and it may not …

Freeze-thaw (FT) cycles in cold regions have a huge effect on the stability of surrounding
rock. Sandstone in the Tongchuan area of northwestern China was used as the research …

Different types of soil water, such as bound water and capillary water, have distinct effects on
the physicochemical and engineering properties of soils, particularly unsaturated clayey …

In tight shales, occurrence characteristics limit oil migration and recovery. This paper
proposes an innovative approach based on experimental and theoretical models to …

The presence of water has a great influence on the strength and deformation of clay-bearing
sandstone. Most of the natural rocks suffer water softening of different saturations. In this …

Freezing-thawing (FT) cycle is one of the main reason of concrete damage in cold regions.
FT cycle mainly lead to degradation of macroscopic mechanical properties of concrete by …

The interactions between water and oxide surfaces play an important role in many fields. In
this work, the adsorption mechanism of water molecules on hematite (1 0 4) surface and the …
