This study presents a new fully coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) model for
variably saturated freezing soil, which examines the freeze–thaw (FT) actions. The model is …

As the natural foundation of engineering structures in cold regions, the frozen soil has a vital
impact on the deformation of structures during construction and operation stage. The …

In permafrost regions, under the interference of climate warming and human activities, the
deformation stability of geological engineering with frozen soil as the medium is directly …

During the construction and service of projects in cold regions, frozen soil generally
experiences strong dynamic loads, such as high-speed collisions and impact tunneling …

A series of radial splitting tests were conducted on frozen subgrade soil to systematically
study the effects of sample size, temperatures, ice contents, loading rates, and prefabricated …

A fractional viscoelastic-viscoplastic model is developed for time-dependent materials, by
considering the reference stress in the fractional viscoelastic body. Using this model, the …

Artificial ground freezing construction is an effective and widely adopted method for
reinforcement in constructing subway tunnels. Regarding sandy clay in artificial frozen walls …

In this paper, a two-dimensional computational homogenization model is utilized to
investigate the elastic stiffness properties of soil-rock mixtures (S-RMs). The medium is …

This study addresses the challenge of estimating the elastic properties of heterogeneous
frozen clay soils by introducing a comprehensive approach that combines analytical and …

Different from other geotechnical materials, the strength characteristics of saturated frozen
soil have nonlinear characteristics that first increase and then reduce with the increasing …
