Investigation of Failure Mechanisms and Performance Optimization of Channel Seepage Control Layers in Cold Regions Under Coupled Wetting, Drying, Freezing, and Thawing Cycles
To address the degradation of seepage-control linings and structural instability of water-conveyance channels under coupled wetting-drying-freeze-thaw conditions in cold regions, this study investigated rehabilitated channels founded on expansive mudstone in northern Xinjiang. A two-dimensional transient finite-element...
