“…In the study of the disintegration of consolidated violet, the moisture content of the soil is strongly correlated with the disintegration speed, and through more detailed analysis, it is found that the disintegration of purple soil is mainly related to the dissolution of the gel material, the water absorption expansion of montmorillonite, and the thickness of electric double layer [5]. In clay-containing rocks, different scholars use different methods to reveal the different stages of disintegration and the underlying factors of mechanical properties [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Water is one of the main reasons for the disintegration of soil, and the mineral composition in water is also affected.…”

In order to study the disintegration characteristics of red clay under different moisture content and temperature, red clay taken from Guilin was prepared into samples with different moisture content, and the disintegration test of red clay was carried out by self-made test equipment. Considering the influence of water absorption and weight gain in red clay, a parallel water absorption test was carried out for each disintegration test, and the disintegration amount–time relationship curve was corrected with the results of the water absorption test so as to propose a new disintegration amount calculation formula. In this experiment, the disintegration characteristics of red clay under different moisture content and temperature were investigated. The experimental results show that the disintegration amount decreases with the increase in moisture content, the moisture content exceeds 25%, and the red clay basically does not disintegrate within 2 h. The amount of disintegration increases with increasing temperature, but the disintegration of red clay in natural environments is not sensitive to temperature. The comprehensive analysis of moisture content and temperature shows that in the natural climate range, moisture content is the main influencing factor of soil disintegration.
