Freeze-thaw weathering is an important surface process and the complex underlying
processes can be understood as an interplay between rock properties and its dynamic …

Freeze–thaw damage is one of the most severe threats to the long-term performance of
concrete pavement in cold regions. Currently, the freeze–thaw deterioration mechanism of …

Climate change in Arctic landscapes may increase freeze–thaw frequency within the active
layer as well as newly thawed permafrost. Freeze-thaw is a highly disruptive process that …

Long-term freeze-thaw (FT) action causes the expansion of the fracture network in rock mass
with ice-filled joints, triggering more serious engineering geological disasters. This study …

Transport is central for frost deterioration, though playing different roles before/after starting
freeze/thaw. Liquid uptake (LU) during rapid freeze/thaw in water (RF) and frost/salt test (FS) …

Understanding the frost deformation characteristics of rock with varying water contents under
freeze–thaw conditions is of great significance to engineering construction activity in cold …

Frost weathering is a key mechanism of rock failure in periglacial environments and
landscape evolution. In high-alpine rock walls, freezing regimes are a combination of diurnal …

The frost damage behaviors of rock mass largely depend on its water content. Therefore, it is
of great practical significance to investigate the effects of the saturation degree on the …

The mechanics of rock masses in cold regions have attracted the attention of researchers
from all over the world, and the concern here is that the mechanical properties of rock …

Rocks in cold regions subjected to freeze–thaw cycles are often affected by the surrounding
hydro-chemical solutions and external load. In this study, the evolution of physical and …
