Investigating Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Damage in Paraglacial Bedrock at Laboratory Scale

Key Points

• Damage mechanisms were identified under simulated environmental conditions, affecting bedrock stability.
• Key evidence shows variability in responses based on temperature and moisture interactions in materials.
• Laboratory scale testing utilized controlled thermal and hydraulic inputs to assess damage progression through physical modeling.
• Findings highlight the need for further studies to understand long-term stability of paraglacial systems under changing climates.
