Experimental Study on Shear Characteristics of Coal Samples in Different Water-Bearing States by Yang Wu, Lujun Wang, Baoyang Wu, Ze Xia

“…Additionally, scanning electron microscope analysis revealed significant changes in the microstructure of coal samples under different moisture states: as the moisture content and dry-saturation cycles increase, the microstructure of the coal samples gradually transforms from orderly and compact to disordered and murky, elucidating the mechanism by which moisture weakens the mechanical properties of the coal samples. …”

Effect of Expanded Polystyrene Particle Size on Engineering Properties of Clayey Soil by Chuanyang Liang, Yuedong Wu, Jian Liu, Huiguo Wu, Dashuo Chen, Hui Liu, Yuanzhuo Song

“…For a given EPS content, among samples with the EPS particle size of 0.3–1 mm, 1-2 mm, and 2-3 mm, the MDD and UCS of EPS-clay blends with 1-2 mm in EPS particle size are the largest, while the OWC, ductility, coefficient of permeability, and compression index are the smallest. Microstructure analyses reveal that, for samples with the EPS particle size of 1-2 mm, the pore volume is lower and the microstructure is denser, which are the main reasons why the EPS particle size can influence engineering properties of EPS-clay blends.…”
