Abstract: Abstract Thermal conductivity of freezing soils is an important parameter for the geotechnical engineering in cold regions. During a freezing process, unfrozen water freezes into ice. It changes soil components and induces frost heave, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijplas.2018.04.007
Abstract: Abstract An elastoplastic theory for saturated freezing soils is presented on the basis of thermoporomechanics. A saturated freezing soil considered as an open system and both Eulerian and Lagrangian formulations considering the phase transition between… read more here.
