Frozen ground covers vast areas worldwide and about 75% of the land area in the Northern
Hemisphere undergoes seasonal freezing and thawing processes. It has been well …

High-speed railways are very important in global transportation. However, the railway
subgrade is significantly affected by the environment due to its exposure to the atmosphere …

Long-term freeze–thaw cycles have a significant impact on the safety and durability of
tunnels located in cold regions. In this study, a hydro-thermal–mechanical coupling model …

In order to counteract the adverse effects of seasonally frozen regions, measures need to be
taken to insulate high-speed railway subgrades and implement anti-freeze structures. The …

Hydraulic conductivity is crucial to revealing the mechanisms of frost damage in cold
regions, while the hydraulic conductivity of coarse-grained soils during freezing process has …

The unloading creep deformation and failure of the frozen surrounding rock and soil stratum
are common problems in artificial freezing construction. This research aims to …

The quantitative determination of liquid water content and salinity in soils is crucial for the
preservation of hydrological environments and engineering infrastructures, especially in …

The temperature state of warm permafrost is in the negative temperature near-phase-
transition interval and thus is extremely sensitive to small fluctuations of the heat and stress …

The damage strength of freeze‐thaw rock provides an important reference for stability
evaluations used during rock engineering in cold regions. In this paper, real‐time acoustic …

Steel screw piles may be a viable pile foundation type in the permafrost region of the
Canadian Arctic but the effects of climate change may accelerate the creep settlement rate of …
