Coupled thermo-mechanical analysis for slope behavior during freezing and thawing

ABSTRACT

Numerical modeling in this paper is based on the following assumptions:

– Water-saturated soil is considered as two-phase material consisting of an interstitial fluid and a solid skeleton, namely pore water and soil skeleton.
