Degradation of natural red mudstone subjected to long-term relative humidity cycles

This paper presents a multi-scale experimental investigation of the weathering degradation of red mudstone. Natural rocks were extracted from the surface ground to 120 m, in which three sets of samples were selected to consider the different initial rock fabrics. The long-term relative humidity (RH)...
