Geotechnical infrastructures, like slopes and embankments, retaining walls, foundations,
engineered landfills, overburden dumps, and pavements, get continuously exposed to …

The mesoscale effect of climate change and engineering activities on a superficial frozen
soil–rock mixture (FSRM) in regions is complex. The decrease in strength caused by particle …

This paper investigates the volumetric, microstructural, and shear behaviours of an
expansive soil during multiple drying-wetting (DW), freeze–thaw (FT), and drying-wetting …

The sunny-shady slopes effect is a phenomenon that impacts the temperature distribution of
high-speed railway subgrades, resulting in uneven frost heaving deformation on the …

The strength deterioration of soil-rock mixtures (SRM) subjected to freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles
leads to instability and failure of upper engineering structures in cold regions. However, the …

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 influence of precipitated calcium carbonate on the strength and microstructure of red
clay was studied. Precipitated calcium carbonate was added to red clay at ratios of 0%, 5 …

Natural disasters, including collapse, landslides, and debris flows, commonly occur in the
Yili River Valley as a result of its distinctive terrain and climate. A large proportion of these …

Cold winter temperatures at high latitudes in coastal regions lead to prolonged exposure of
offshore concrete structures to freeze–thaw (F–T) damage, which significantly reduces the …

Freeze‐thaw interface in unsaturated coarse‐grained soil (CGS) is a weak plane which can
cause slope failures in cold regions. This study presents a series of large‐scale direct shear …
