Thermal Shrinkage and Cracking Behavior of Foamed Lightweight Soil under Temperature Cycling and Region Minimum Service Temperature Range: An Experimental and FDEM Study
Foamed lightweight soil (FLS) subgrades in cold regions are highly susceptible to temperature-induced shrinkage cracking, compromising long-term durability. This study investigates the coupled effects of silty clay content, temperature cycling, and service temperature range on FLS shrinkage behavior and crack evoluti...
