1.Inorganic Matters of Soil: From the accounts given in the description of weathering process it is clear that compounds of aluminium, silicon, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium and sodium are chief inorganic constituents of soils. Besides these, the soils also contain small quantities of several...

This rock layer has exhibited long-term weathering and softening due to groundwater saturation. The rock mass is extremely fragmented, with the increased clay content causing a significant reduction in the shear strength. This layer forms a weak interlayer component at the top of the sliding bed,...
The exposed areas of the filled adit are protected by sprayed concrete to minimize the deterioration of the filling body wetting–drying cycles weathering. Carefully consider the amount of gypsum added, and pay attention to CPB softening in water to prevent slope failure due to the deterioration ...
Wood, a natural material with versatile industrial applications, faces limitations such as low dimensional stability and decay resistance. To address these issues, there has been significant progress in wood modification research. Oil heat treatment has
Outdoor weathering resulted in the most considerable increase in tensile strength (11.29 ± 0.85) for the 1 wt.% chitosan–TiO2 sample (p < 0.05). The 1 wt.% chitosan–TiO2 specimen, when exposed to sweat for six months, exhibited a tensile strength (10.23 ± 0.70) that was statistically...
