A novel random finite element model for holistically modeling of the frost effects on soils and cold region pavements

Abstract This paper describes the development of a random finite element model (RFEM) that allows holistic simulation of frozen soil behaviors, including the effects of phase transition and the consequent internal stress and volume changes. The performance of the model is firstly validated with labo...
