Lignosulfonate is one of the by-products in the paper and pulp industry that is widely
produced around the world and its improper disposal or storage can pose irreparable risks …

In this paper, influence of freeze-thaw (FT) cycles on the microstructure and hydraulic
conductivity were investigated on saline intact loess specimens by infiltrating sodium sulfate …

When a new ground source heat exchanger field is planned, underground thermal
properties input data are necessary for the correct sizing of the geo-exchange system. To …

The change of soil macropores, especially fissures, due to freeze-thaw (FT) has important
implications for soil engineering properties such as hydraulic conductivity and …

Gravelly soils, characterized by a mixture of fine soil matrix and coarse gravel aggregates,
are widely distributed in high mountain and cold plateau areas. These soils are frequently …

This paper investigates the volumetric, microstructural, and shear behaviours of an
expansive soil during multiple drying-wetting (DW), freeze–thaw (FT), and drying-wetting …

The pore structure characteristics of soil are closely related to soil engineering properties.
For saline soil distributed in seasonally frozen areas, existing studies have focused on the …

Saline soil is characterized by high concentrations of soluble salts, which can pose hazards
such as frost heaving, uneven thaw settlement, and concrete erosion, especially subjected …

In permafrost regions, roads and soil slopes experience freeze–thaw cycles annually and
the soil characteristics (such as strength and conductivity) change irreversibly. Several …

This study investigates the evolution of the structural, volumetric and water retention
behaviors of a compacted clay during soaking and desiccation considering the influences of …
