Golchin, A. (author), Guo, Y. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Liu, S. (author), Zhang, G. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)The coupling effect of initial shear stress and thermal cycles on the thermomechanical behaviour of clay concrete and sand-concrete interfaces has been studied. A set of drained monotonic direct shear tests was conducted at the soil-concrete interface level. Samples were initially sheared to half of the material's shear strength and then they...journal article 2023

Guo, Y. (author), Golchin, A. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author), Liu, Songyu (author), Zhang, Guozhu (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)The effect of temperature on the monotonic and cyclic shearing response of a soil–structure interface is of critical importance for the application of thermal-active geo-structures. To investigate this, soils and soil–concrete interfaces were comprehensively tested with a temperature-controlled direct shear device under both fixed...journal article 2023
