In high-altitude cold areas, freeze-thaw (FT) cycles induced by day-night and seasonal
temperature changes cause numerous rock mass slope engineering disasters. To …

To investigate the stress–strain behavior of frozen soils, a program of triaxial compression
tests was designed and carried out on samples of unfrozen and frozen cohesive (CL) and …

To study the physical properties and dynamic mechanical response characteristics of rock
materials in seasonally frozen regions, density, P-wave velocity, nuclear magnetic …

The variations of shear strength parameters against the freeze-thaw cycles are not well
understood in the previous study. This research mainly investigated the influence of freeze …

The freezing technique has been employed for a long time to strengthen the mechanical
properties of intact rock and rock mass; however, it has not received as much attention as it …

The durability of consolidated highly porous limestones was tested after salt and freeze–
thaw cycles. Three porous limestone lithotypes that were commonly used in construction in …

Ductility is the ability of a material to deform without suffering brittle failure under stresses.
Once the load ceases, the acquired deformation maintains over time. On the contrary, a …
