Abstract

Uneven displacement of permafrost has become a major concern in cold regions, particularly under repeated freezing-thawing cycles. This issue poses a significant geohazard, jeopardizing the safety of transportation infrastructure. Statistical analyses of thermal penetration suggest that the problem is likely to intensify as water erosion expands, with increasing occurrences of uneven displacement. To tackle the challenges related to mechanical behavior under cyclic loading, the New Geocell Soil System has been implemented to mitigate hydrothermal effects. Assessment results indicate that the New Geocell Soil System is stable and effective, offering advantages in controlling weak zones on connecting slopes and reducing uneven solar radiation. Consequently, the New Geocell Soil System provides valuable insights into the quality of embankments and ensures operational safety by maintaining displacement at an even level below 1.0 mm. The thermal gradient is positive, with displacement below 6 °C/m, serving as a framework for understanding the stability of the subgrade. This system also enhances stress and release the sealing phenomenon.

寒区新型土工格室土体系加固路堤评价

冻土的不均匀位移已成为寒冷地区的主要问题，特别是在反复冻融循环下。这一问题构成了严重的地质灾害，危及交通基础设施的安全。热渗透的统计分析表明，随着水侵蚀的扩大，随着不均匀位移的增加，这个问题可能会加剧。为了解决循环载荷下的力学行为挑战，新土工格室土壤系统已经实施，以减轻热液效应。评价结果表明，新型土工格室土壤系统稳定有效，在控制连接坡的薄弱地带和减少太阳辐射不均匀方面具有优势。因此，新的土工格室土壤系统为堤防质量提供了有价值的见解，并通过将位移保持在1.0毫米以下的均匀水平来确保操作安全。热梯度为正，位移小于6°C/m，可以作为理解路基稳定性的框架。该系统还可以增强应力，解除密封现象。

期刊介绍： Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere. Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost. Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
