Experimental Study on the Evolution of Mesoscopic Structure and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Typical Karst Fillings soil under Dry-Wet Cycles
This study investigates how repeated dry-wet cycles degrade the macroscopic mechanical properties and mesoscopic structure of Jinan's karst fillings, revealing that the process significantly reduces shear strength and elastic modulus while increasing pore volume and ductility through the progressive breakdown of particle cementation.
