A characteristic of frozen ground is a tendency to form banded sequences of particle-free ice
lenses separated by layers of ice-infiltrated soil, which produce frost heave. In permafrost …

Thermo-poro-mechanical responses along sliding zone/surface have been extensively
studied. However, it has not been recognized that the potential contribution of other crucial …

Surface moisture has recently been reported to be used in regional-scale landslide early
warning. Nevertheless, near-surface multi-depth hydrothermal measurements as a hillslope …

Frost damage in mid-latitude loess regions is mainly caused by the coupled soil water and
heat transfer during freezing-thawing (FT) processes. In this paper, to better understand the …

Frost heave and thaw settlement in cold regions pose a significant threat to engineering
construction. Optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) based on Rayleigh scattering …

Understanding multiphase transformations and the migration of heat, water, vapor, and salt
in coarse-grained saline soil under groundwater recharge and environmental freeze—thaw …

Thermal response tests employing resistively heated methods (TRT-RH) have shown
advanced performance in evaluating ground properties, while the effect of various TRT-RH …

The actively heated fiber-optic (AHFO) technology has become emerged as a research
focus due to its advantages of distributed, real-time measurement and good durability …

Water-heat-salt migration inevitably leads to instability and failure in roads, slopes,
channels, and tower foundations in sulfate saline soil regions undergoing freeze–thaw (FT) …

Understanding the internal regularity of unsaturated freezing sulfate saline soil is of utmost
importance concerning the durability and stability of cold region engineering in sulfate saline …
