Piles are a common type of foundation to support engineering structures in frozen ground,
but they may suffer from heaving once sufficiently moist frost-susceptible soils freeze around …

The design results of pile foundations based on different national codes are not identical
owing to differences in the design and calculation of the vertical bearing capacity of frozen …

Well-graded gravels are usually considered non-frost-susceptible, which appears to be a fair
assumption in accordance with universally recognized frost criterions; However, their frost …

In this paper, a thermo-mechanical model is proposed to simulate the frost jacking behaviour
of screw piles subjected to frost heave, and the results are further validated by laboratory …

Sample soil was prepared with natural gravel soil and surface silt from Guoluo Airport in
China in this study. An original laboratory experiment model of uneven frost heave of airport …

In this paper, a model is proposed to simulate frost jacking performances of a pile foundation
within an axisymmetric pile–soil system through a coupling strategy. We consider three …

A number of buildings in the Canadian Arctic communities have failed or showed signs of
failure of pile foundations caused by climate-change-induced excessive settlements. Effects …

Air temperature in the Northern Hemisphere has been progressively warming in the recent
decades, and the ground temperatures have increased correspondingly. The air …

Helical steel piles (HSPs) are currently used as supports for photovoltaic panels in
seasonally frozen ground in order to mitigate the adverse impacts of frost jacking; …

A calculation method of the ultimate side resistance of screw pile is established by regarding
the soil slip surface under screw thread as a logarithmic slip surface, and its accuracy is …
