Experimental Study on Cracking Behaviour and Strength Properties of an Expansive Soil under Cyclic Wetting and Drying by Tao Li, Yanqing He, Guokun Liu, Binru Li, Rui Hou

“…The applied vertical load reduces the weakening effect of the wetting-drying cycles on the soil structure and strength by restraining the expansion and contraction deformation. (2) By analyzing the number of wetting-drying cycles and the crack images, the crack development (length, direction, etc.) of the expansive soil can be predicted and described. (3) There is a specific linear correlation between the crack ratio and strength that approached a limit value with ongoing wetting-drying cycles. …”

Experimental Investigation of Seismic Behavior of Traditional and Eccentric RHS X-Joints Under Brace Axial Cyclic Loading by Shaoqi Zhong, Bida Zhao, Lianglin Liu

“…Increasing β enhanced axial strength but reduced ductility, deformability, and energy dissipation capacity. Eccentric joints with β = 0.83 showed improved strength, ductility, and energy dissipation compared to traditional joints, whereas eccentric joints with β = 1.0 displayed superior ductility but comparable strength and energy dissipation. …”
