Literature review demonstrates altered geotechnical and mechanical properties in cold-region soils, highlighting essential considerations for infrastructure stability and deformation analysis.
Freeze-thaw cycling affects the geotechnical properties of soils and must be taken into account when selecting soil parameters for stability and deformation analysis of slopes, embankments and cuts in cold regions, especially those underlain by permafrost. This review examines methods of investigation, testing techniques and the impact of freeze-thaw processes on the physical and mechanical properties of soils.
