Soil salinization is a global problem that severely restricts agriculture as well as the
engineering and construction industry. Understanding water and salt transport laws is key to …

Numerous studies have investigated the coupled multi-field processes in frozen soils,
focusing on the variation in frozen soils and addressing the influences of climate change …

Soil salinization is aggravated by evaporation, resulting in salt crystallizing on the soil
surface. Soil salinization is harmful to agriculture and has significant implications for the …

The stability and performance of loess infrastructure in cold regions are often challenged by
seasonal freezing–thawing action. The action of the foundation loess is a complex thermo …

Long-term freeze–thaw cycles have a significant impact on the safety and durability of
tunnels located in cold regions. In this study, a hydro-thermal–mechanical coupling model …

Loess structure plays a vital role in the evolution of loess landforms, which mainly involves
water erosion and slope collapse processes. The existing literature on loess structure lacks …

Thermal conductivity is one of the significant thermal parameters for estimating heat flux and
thermal regime of soil in cold regions. This paper summarizes the test methods of thermal …

In seasonally frozen ground regions, freeze-thaw (FT) cycles induce frost heave and affect
the long-term stability of high-speed railway embankments. This study used a molecular …

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 …

Traditional agricultural or eco-hydrological models usually ignore soil deformation and its
impact on hydrothermal properties when simulating soil water, heat, and salt transport under …
