Macro/Microtesting and Damage and Degradation of Sandstones under Dry-Wet Cycles by Xinrong Liu, Zijuan Wang, Yan Fu, Wen Yuan, Luli Miao

“…In terms of the degradation of mechanical parameters of rock mass in the hydrofluctuation belt of a reservoir bank slope arising from rainfall and the reservoir level fluctuation, the moderately weathered sandstone in a side slope of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region is selected as a research object to carry out “drying-saturation-drying” tests for disks with two thicknesses (h=25 mm, h=50 mm) in different cycles; a spiral CT machine, an ultrasonic velocity meter, and a light Schmidt hammer are utilzed to conduct nondestructive testing on dry-wet cycles; through the Brazilian splitting test, the uniaxial tensile strength of “dry” and “saturated” sandstones under different dry-wet cycles is obtained. …”

Nano-SiO2 and PVA Fiber Synergistically Strengthened Concrete to Optimize the Antifreeze, Antipermeability, and Anticorrosion Performance of Roads by Li Tang

“…After the test piece is immersed in water to reach a saturated state, we check the appearance size of the test piece, wipe the surface of the test piece clean with a rag, weigh the unfreeze-thaw test piece, then measure the ultrasonic wave speed of the test piece with a nondestructive testing instrument, and do good record. After every 25 freeze-thaw cycles, we measure the mass and relative dynamic elastic modulus of each group of specimens, make corresponding records, then put them into the freeze-thaw box, and add clean water as the freeze-thaw medium to continue the test. …”
