Modelling the freezing and thawing behaviour of saturated soils

This thesis presents an investigation of the thermo / hydro / mechanical behaviour of saturated soils with cryogenic suction effects. The flow relationships accommodate a number of mechanisms: i) heat transfer by conduction, convection, and latent heat transfer and ii) moisture transfer in the liqui...
