Study of Macro- and Mesodamage of Remolded Loess under Alternating Dry and Wet Conditions in an Acid Rain Environment by Wanjun Ye, Yuntao Wu, Yang Bai

“…Considering the influence of acid rain on the engineering characteristics of loess in this area, we investigated changes in the physical and mechanical characteristics of remolded loess under the combined action of acid rain and dry-wet cycles by means of triaxial tests, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results are as follows: in the acidic environment, the stress-strain relationship of remolded loess undergoes stress hardening after dry-wet cycling. …”
