With the expansion of engineering activities, numerous major projects are gradually
emerging in frozen soil regions. However, due to the unique engineering properties of …

The freezing of frost susceptible soils is a dynamic hydro-thermal–mechanical (THM)
interacting process. One-side freezing experiments of saturated soil in an open system with …

Global warming is causing unprecedented changes to permafrost regions with amplified
effects in the Arctic through a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. This intensified …

A series of triaxial shear, creep and relaxation tests with different stress paths were
conducted on frozen loess at a temperature of− 6° C in order to experimentally study the …

There are critical problems in the field trials of natural gas hydrate (NGH) production, such
as low production rate, limited recovery range and short period of stabilized production …

For the engineering construction in cold regions, it is essential to understand the mechanical
properties of frozen soil. In order to investigate the mechanical characteristics of frozen …

The tensile strength characteristics of warm frozen soils have significant influences on slope
stabilities in permafrost regions and on the establishment of ice segregation criterion under …

Frost heave results from ice segregation and ice lens formation and growth as a soil freezes.
This formation is initiated by cracking of the soil in the frozen fringe. Therefore, evaluation of …

An elastic-viscoplastic model is developed to simulate the rate-, stress-and temperature-
dependent mechanical behaviour of frozen soils under nearly monotonic shearing. The …

Slope stability analysis has been performed through various analysis methods ranging from
general limit equilibrium methods, such as those proposed by Janbu, Bishop, and Fellenius …
