Cooling mechanism of embankment with block stone interlayer in Qinghai-Tibet railway

In order to study the cooling mechanism of embankment with block stone interlayer under open and closed conditions, an experimental railway section was built and data within one freeze-thaw cycle were collected. The results explain well the cooling mechanism of embankment with block stone interlayer. Under the open condition in cold seasons, the enforced convection effect occurs within block stone interlayer when the wind speed is large;...
