Investigation of Mechanical Degradation and Microstructural Evolution of Red-Bed Soft Rocks Under Wetting–Drying Cycles
To clarify the water-sensitive deterioration mechanisms of red-bed soft rocks under repeated wetting–drying cycles, mudstone samples from two representative sites in the Sichuan Basin were investigated through multiscale experiments combining mechanical testing, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy...
