Abstract:The hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils during freezing and thawing is a coupled multi-physics process that has important practical applications. To cite but a few examples, on artificial ground freezing –to provide structural support and exclude the groundwater from underground constructions–, on seasonal variations of permafrost soils and their consequences on infrastructures, on geocomposite capillary barriers used to reduce frost heave in soils, and on engineered barriers subjected to freezing and thawing … Show more
