... managing moisture in both saturated and unsaturated conditions. In cold regions, it may help mitigate the detrimental effects of freeze-thaw cycles, including frost heave and frost boil. However, few studies have examined how repeated freeze-thaw exposure influences mechanical performance. This study...

... conditions. Figure 10 shows the temporal changes in moisture content by comparing the data from W3 and W12 of tested slopes using different reinforcement materials. As freeze-thaw cycles progressed, the unreinforced slope exhibited the greatest moisture accumulation at the base, followed by the geogrid...

...R. K. Rowe; N. Martinez Noboa; R. W. I. Brachman An experimental study of the effect of closed system and a limited study of open system freeze–thaw cycles on the interface transmissivity at applied stresses between 10 and 150 kPa is described. The effect of closed system freeze–thaw is most...

...R. F. M. Rarison; M. Mbonimpa; B. Bussière High-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes (GMs) are frequently used as fluid barrier components of cover systems for mine site reclamation in regions that are prone to freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs). However, HDPE GMs are more susceptible to stress cracking...
