Abstract: Abstract A hydro-thermo-chemical-mechanical coupled model is proposed to simulate seasonal marine clay subjected to freeze–thaw cycles. The theoretical model comprehensively considers the nucleation, molecular diffusion, ...

Abstract: Abstract In this paper, an analytical solution for the scattering of plane SH waves by arbitrarily shaped tunnels in a nonlocal fractional-order viscoelastic half-space is presented by using complex variable theory. First, ...

Abstract: Abstract To investigate the deformation characteristics of coarse-grained sulfate–saline soil subgrades to the thermal responses of pavement structures in cold arid environments with significant diurnal temperature variations, ...

Abstract: Abstract Loess is a type of structured soil widely distributed in seasonal frozen regions. Its mechanical properties are significantly influenced by the number of freeze–thaw cycles (N) and water content (ω), often leading ...
