Artificial Neural Network-Based Model for Prediction of Frost Heave Behavior of Silty Soil Specimen

Frost heave action is a major issue in permafrost regions that can give rise to various geotechnical engineering problems. To analyze and predict this phenomenon at a specimen scale, this study conducted a fully coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical analysis and evaluated the frost heave behavior of froz...
