Nationwide zonation and durability assessment of China's plateau infrastructure under freeze–thaw cycles - EurekAlert
In a new study, researchers have tackled the pressing issue of transportation infrastructure durability in China’s harsh plateau region, where concrete structures are susceptible to damage from repeated freeze–thaw cycles. By introducing a sophisticated spatiotemporal distribution model and utilizing advanced statistical and spatial interpolation techniques, the team has created a nationwide zoning system for freeze–thaw action levels. This innovative approach, combined with a visualization platform for environmental analysis and durability calculations, promises to revolutionize the assessment and maintenance of concrete structures in extreme climates, ensuring safer and more resilient transportation networks across the vast Chinese plateau.
