Seasonally frozen soils are exposed to freeze‒thaw cycles every year, leading to
mechanical property deterioration. To reasonably describe the deterioration of soil under …

Artificial ground freezing (AGF) has been utilized in a range of engineerings, including
tunneling, shaft sinking, deep excavations, and the construction of underground structures …

The instability of soil bank slopes induced by freeze-thaw cycles at the northern foot of
Tianshan Mountain is very common. The failure not only caused a large amount of soil …

The focus of this paper was directed towards investigating the influence of multiple freeze–
thaw (FT) cycles on the mechanical behaviors of an expansive soil under a wide range of …

The present study was based on a promoting statistical method known as response surface
method (RSM). RSM has been applied as an efficient method to optimize many physical …

Owing to a minor thermal disturbance to the permafrost environment, cast‐in‐place piles are
widely used for building and bridge foundations in permafrost regions. However, because of …

In cold regions at high altitudes, freeze–thaw cycles due to diurnal temperature variation in
the construction process in winter result in the core-wall soil materials of dams having …

This experimental study investigated the characteristics of nonplastic silt subjected to
multiple freeze–thaw cycles. The study used a novel, open test system developed to better …

Roadbeds usually experience various freezing and thawing regimes. Thus, in the present
study, an experiment was performed comprising 46 successive triaxial tests conducted …

Seasonally ice-bound ground are subjected to cyclic freeze–thaw processes, which can
significantly degrade their mechanical properties, including static strength (Ss). To …
