In cold regions, concrete structures such as pavements, bridges, and tunnels can undergo
freeze-thaw conditions, which may significantly deteriorate the performance of concrete and …

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 …

The issue of rock pore structure deterioration and dynamical mechanical properties has
drawn much attention in recent years in the rock engineering community. In this study, a …

In cold mountainous regions, the freeze-thaw cycling often leads to rock weathering, which
might trigger spalling, significant landslides and rockfalls. In this work, we used combined …

This work presents the impacts of freeze-thaw (FT) fatigue damage on the crack
coalescence behaviors at the rock bridge segment for granite samples containing two …

Freeze-thaw action has caused many engineering geology disasters in cold regions, such
as frost cracking of tunnel and pavement, rockfall of rock slope, falling off of building …

Mine slopes in high-altitude and cold regions are susceptible to damage and degradation
under long-term freeze-thaw (FT) conditions, which threatens the stability of geotechnical …

Bedrock freezes deeply in high-latitude or high-elevation regions; for instance, permafrost
thickness has been estimated to exceed 900 m in Arctic Canada and can even reach 1400 …

Sandstone is widely distributed in cold regions and the freeze-thaw deterioration of them
has caused many geological engineering disasters. As an important and direct index of frost …

Understanding the freezing pattern of pore water is the basis for revealing the mechanisms
of frost damage in porous rocks. We employed low-field nuclear magnetic resonance …
