Abstract
The thermal properties of warm frozen clay are easily affected by temperature factors, and the number of field measured data is limited. The thermal parameter distribution model constructed by ignoring the influence of temperature factors and small sample characteristic factors is not applicable to all situations. Therefore, this study studies the measured data of thermal parameters of warm frozen clay under different temperature conditions. Firstly, a binary frozen soil thermal parameter correlation structure characterization method is proposed based on Copula theory. Based on the measured data, the Bootstrap method is used to simulate the variability of small samples to determine the best fitting edge distribution and Copula function under different temperature conditions. Secondly, a joint probability distribution model is constructed based on the best fitting function. Finally, the fitting degree of the model is evaluated by the goodness of fit test. The results show that the distribution characteristics of thermal parameters of warm frozen clay under different temperatures are not consistent. The bivariate joint distribution model identified by the Bootstrap method can better characterize the correlation structure of thermal parameters
期刊介绍:
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.
Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.
Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
