Abstract: Based on the problems of application of embankments with insulation in permafrost regions, a finite-element method (FEM) was adopted to analyze the influence on permafrost protection effects of the parameters such as ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of route direction, embankment height, and pavement type on the thermal field of embankments built in permafrost regions. A finite-element model (FEM) is adopted to simulate diverse conditions ...

Abstract: Accurate deterioration models play a critical role in designing and managing transportation infrastructure. Regular models simply consider loading factor and its relative uncertainties. However, climate and environment ...
