Experimental Study on the Softening Characteristics of Sandstone and Mudstone in Relation to Moisture Content

The kinetics of fluid-solid coupling during immersion is an important topic of investigation in rock engineering. Two rock types, sandstone and mudstone, are selected in this work to study the correlation between the softening characteristics of the rocks and moisture content. This is achieved throu...
