The expansive soil in seasonally frozen areas is vulnerable to repeated freezing and
thawing. When exposed to freeze–thaw cycles, this soil may pose a danger to civil …

Freeze-thaw erosion is widely distributed in China, where the difference of natural
conditions brings a series of characteristics for different regions. The alpine meadow area of …

Subgrade is an essential factor for the service life of highways and railways, especially the
sulfate attack of subgrade made of saline soil. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the …

Frost heave can have a very destructive impact on infrastructure in permafrost regions. The
complexity of nanoscale ice-mineral interactions and their relation to the macroscale frost …

Frost heaving behavior of silty clay under different loading paths was experimentally
investigated through unidirectional freezing tests in a closed system. The compression …

Salt expansion is known as a type of soil deformation induced by salt crystallization. In order
to reveal the development of salt expansion or salt crystallization in saline soils during the …

Seasonally frozen ground regions occupy approximately 55% of the exposed land surface in
the Northern Hemisphere, and frost heave is the common global problem in seasonally …

In this paper, three freezing‐thawing tests are designed to study the freeze‐thaw resistance
of stabilized sulfate type saline soil. The results show that different destructive modes and …

During the freezing process, water migration is a decisive factor for the estimation of frost
heave and thaw-settlements of fine and mixed-grain soils. One-dimensional freezing tests …

The soil beneath buildings constructed in cold regions is affected by frost heave, causing the
walls to crack and even the buildings to incline and collapse. Therefore, predicting the frost …
