Abstract:
Due to the influence of the groundwater level， the internal humidity of the subgrade changes and the stability of the subgrade is affected. The main purpose of this paper is to obtain a reliable model of subgrade soil water content variation under the action of dry-wet cycle through sensor readings. Thus， an indoor soil column model test system is designed， and the readings of the sensors are used to determine the changing law of moisture field in the subgrade soil. The sensor readings indicate that the water content gradually decreases along the height of the soil column， and the water in the upper part of the soil column continuously loses， while the water in the lower part migrates upward to supplement. With the increase of dry-wet cycle index， the water holding capacity of soil decreases， and the soil surface gradually cracks and tends to rupture.
