Study on the hydrothermal coupling characteristics of polyurethane insulation boards slope protection structure incorporating phase change effect

Abstract The canals are essential for agricultural irrigation, shipping and industry as important hydraulic infrastructure. In the seasonal freeze regions, the water conveyance canals are damaged due to the effects of freeze–thaw cycles. The freeze depth of soil in the water transfer canal varies co...
