Popis: Owing to rainfall and evaporation in nature’s water succession, clay soil inevitably experiences wetting–drying cycles. In the present study, experiments are carried out to investigate variations in the water state (i.e., adsorbed and bulk) during the wetting process and again after experiencing 0–4 wetting–drying cycles. Mathematical connections between the water content, wetting–drying cycle, and the water state are analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The experimental results show a defined T2 cutoff (T2C) where T2 = 1.84 ms is selected as the critical value of the water state. Based on this T2C, water in the testing specimen is divided into adsorbed water (T2
