Influence of Acidic Substances on Compression Deformation Characteristics of Loess by Hao Tang, Chiyang Liu, Nianqin Wang, Huahua Li, Guannan Wu, Jinzhi Luo, Mengli Zeng

“…The test results show that when the soaking time is the same, the hydrochloric acid concentration increases from 0 to 3.0 mol/L, the compression coefficient Cc increases by 43.20–87.5%, and the compression yield stress σpc decreases by 51.36–60.86%; when the concentration of hydrochloric acid is the same, the soaking time increases from 1 day to 12 days, the compression coefficient Cc increases by 119.05–197.46%, and compressive yield stress σpc decreases by 10.67–22.02%. The microscopic images of loess soaked for 12 days at 3.0 mol/L hydrochloric acid concentration were compared with those of the original loess. …”

Dynamic Mechanical Response, Cracking Behavior, and Stress Intensity Factors of Cement Mortar Specimens with Open and Closed Flaws by Qizhi Wang, Fangshi Shi, Xiao Wang, Qingling Meng, Xing Li, Jinbo Song, Chang-yi Yu

“…The nominal strength, crack initiation, and failure characteristics of the specimens under different loading rates are investigated using the split Hopkinson bar (SHPB) system in conjunction with the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The results indicate that the dynamic nominal strength of both two types of specimens shows similar loading rate and flaw angle dependency, specifically, monotonically increasing with the increase of the loading rate while increasing first and then decreasing with increasing the flaw inclination angle. …”
