Thermo-Mechanical Weathering in Malan Loess Under Thermal Shocks by Yangqing Gong, Yanrong Li, Shengdi He

“…The key findings are as follows: (1) Soil temperature variations demonstrate phase-lagged responses to ambient thermal variations during both shock scenarios, exhibiting distinct thermal inertia effects. (2) The spatial distribution pattern of thermal stress is predominantly governed by the temperature gradient within the soil matrix. (3) While the magnitude ranges of thermal stress remain comparable between shock types, their directional characteristics fundamentally differ; heat shocks induce surface compressive stresses and internal tensile stresses, whereas cold shocks generate inverse stress patterns. (4) Compared to heat shock, cold shocks trigger obvious surface degradation through tensile stress-induced failure of particle bonds. …”
