VERTICAL STRAIN AND BREAKAGE BEHAVIOUR OF CREEP LOADED CRUSHED MUDSTONE UNDER EXPOSING DRY/WET CYCLE AND WATER GRADIENT

摘要

Experimental results show that W/D cycle caused an increase in vertical strain as well as particle breakage. The particlelosses by the water gradient also increased along with W/D cycle. However, the vertical strain and particle losses by thewater gradient became stable in increasing W/D cycles.
