Abstract: In the present study, a number of triaxial tests were conducted to examine the shear behavior of rubber–sand mixtures, with an emphasis placed on the critical-state line and energy performance. The experimental results ...

Abstract: Frost heave of soil is a highly nonuniform problem, in which the local deformation is much more severe and meaningful compared with the overall deformation. When soil is upon freezing, a water–ice phase change occurs and ...
