Equations for soil freezing characteristics curves based on the thermodynamics principles

Experimental studies related to the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemo (THMC) behaviors of unsaturated frozen soils are cumbersome, expensive, and time consuming. For this reason, several researchers suggested mathematical models exploiting the strong relationships between the soil freezing characteristi...
