DESIGN AND TYPE SELECTION OF CONCRETE‐LINED SMALL CANALS IN CUT AND EXPANSIVE SOIL IN COLD REGIONS
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Irrigation and Drainage"
DOI: 10.1002/ird.2385
Abstract: In cold regions, deformation because of frost heave in the soil seriously damages the concrete lining of canals, which results in seepage loss and high maintenance costs. Cross‐sectional canal shapes with low‐stress concrete lining are… read more here.
