Abstract: Abstract Unfrozen water content significantly governs liquid water migration, frost heave, and thaw settlement in soils during freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs). However, the dynamic evolution of unfrozen water content across ...

Abstract: Abstract Ecological restoration of rock slopes in cold regions faces significant challenges due to freeze–thaw (F-T) cycle-induced soil strength deterioration. To improve the F-T resistance of hydraulic spray planting soil, ...

Abstract: Abstract To study the changing law of compressive strength for concrete with different saturation degrees, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) solutions are used to erode concrete specimens. Concrete ...

Abstract: Abstract The development and exploitation of petroleum resources in cold regions have exacerbated the risk of petroleum spills, which can adversely affect the safety of infrastructure, particularly under freeze–thaw cycles. ...

Abstract: Abstract The degradation of embankment permafrost has been exacerbated by climate warming and human engineering activities. Ventilated embankments effectively cool the embankment permafrost. However, snow accumulation in ...
