Based on the distribution of mineral particles, a discrete element model was constructed to simulate the mechanical behavior and damage evolution of sandstone during freeze-thaw cycles, and the reliability of the simulations was verified by laboratory tests. Results showed freeze-thaw cracks were driven by mineral anisotropy and water-ice phase transition. The phase transition caused volumetric expansion and accelerated mineral detachment: mica foliation slipped to form preferential crack channels, feldspar cleavage propagated transgranularly, and coupled with quartz rotation to promote radial crack extension. Pores exhibited a “slow-rapid-slow” pattern, the porosity increased from 0.13 to 0.232,eventually forming honeycomb damaged zones with dominant displacement mechanism shift. With increasing cycles, the compressive strength of sandstone decreased by 25.3%, the elastic modulus attenuated by 26.7%, with simulated and experimental curves consistent. Loading-induced microcracks followed “slow-moderate-rapid” evolution, dominated by tensile cracks early and shear cracks later, with the ratio of tensile to shear cracks being 1.18 and cracks mainly concentrated in the orientation range of 30–120°. Variations in force chains and contact numbers are the coupled results of freeze-thaw cracks and mineral heterogeneity. Differences in mineral compositions lead to their uneven distribution: the weak mineral regions are continuously weakened, accompanied by sparse force chain networks and decreased contact numbers; while the hard mineral regions are temporarily strengthened, with local concentration of force chains and increased contact numbers. The proposed “mineral-phase transition” coupling damage mechanism provides new insights into the microscopic mechanisms of freeze-thaw damage in Helan Mountain sandstone and offers a reference for the conservation of the Helankou rock art.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10522,"journal":{"name":"Cold Regions Science and Technology","volume":"246 ","pages":"Article 104863"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147386006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While traditional avalanche forecasts relied solely on human expertise, machine learning models have been developed in recent years and are already operational in Switzerland. Such models can rapidly assimilate large amounts of complex data, providing objective and high-resolution predictions of the avalanche danger level and avalanche activity, assisting forecasters with a “second opinion”. These Random Forest models were originally trained on a historical database containing 20 years of Swiss meteorological measurements, snow cover simulations, danger level assessments, and avalanche observations. The performance of the models was comparable to the experience-based avalanche forecasts in the Swiss Alps, although some variations were observed among different regions. For the future operational extension of the models, there is the challenge of addressing the spatial variation of predictive performance across snow climates, and hence verifying the capability to transfer such models to other mountain regions outside of Switzerland. In this study, we test for the first time the avalanche danger and wet-snow avalanche activity models using a database recorded during three winter seasons in Val d’Aran, a small county on the Atlantic watershed of the Spanish Central Pyrenees. The Aran Avalanche Center issues a daily regional avalanche forecast to inform the public about the avalanche hazard. To prepare this bulletin, forecasters analyze extensive data sources, including weather forecasts and meteorological and avalanche activity observations. Additionally, during the last winter seasons, the SNOWPACK model has provided snow cover simulations for specific orientations (flat field and four mountain slope aspects) driven by meteorological data measured from two automatic weather stations. These data are used as input to run the danger level and wet-snow avalanche activity models, using the same model versions as those operationally used in Switzerland. Even though Val d’Aran is a relatively small mountain region, the high-quality data collected there, including daily avalanche danger level forecasts, snow cover simulations, snowpack stability field assessments, and avalanche activity observations, make it a perfect study site to test and validate the predictions of the Swiss machine learning models in a region with different snow climate conditions. Overall, the danger level models achieved agreement rates of approximately 60%–70% with the public forecast danger levels for dry-snow conditions, whereas the wet-avalanche activity model showed a moderate correlation with the forecast for wet-snow conditions. Our findings demonstrate that machine learning models trained on a dataset from Switzerland can be transferred to another climatic region with only a moderate loss in performance.

Thermal cracking resistance is closely associated with the fracture temperature of asphalt mixture. So, the effects of wet-dry cycles on the low-temperature fracture toughness and energy were investigated through semi-circular bend (SCB) test. Based on the SCB tests across various temperatures (from −30 °C to 25 °C), a novel framework for predicting the fracture temperature was developed by integrating the experimental results with finite element (FE) method. A conversion coefficient was defined to convert the SCB flexural strength to the direct tensile strength for the thermal stress restrained specimen test (TSRST). The fracture temperatures of asphalt mixtures subjected to the wet-dry cycles were predicted. Results indicate that wet-dry cycles result in a reduction of the fracture toughness and fracture energy. With a high number of repetitions, even short-term immersing cycles can induce severe moisture damage in asphalt mixtures. The fracture energy is more susceptible to each change of wet-dry conditions. The conversion coefficient of 2.28 is determined for dense mixture. Fracture temperatures of asphalt mixtures are accurately predicted, wet-dry cycles result in an increase in the fracture temperature of asphalt mixtures, with frequent short-term immersion cycles exerting a significant influence on this property.

This study proposes a snow particle scaling criterion based on aerodynamic similarity. Specifically, when the ratio of the product of particle density and diameter before and after scaling aligns with the model's geometric scaling ratio, their transport and deposition behaviors remain consistent. The proposed criterion was verified through numerical simulations by comparing three scaling strategies against the full-scale baseline case. The accuracy of the numerical method was further validated against both single-phase wind tunnel experiments and full-scale snow and ice wind tunnel tests. Results indicate that scaling only the particle density most effectively preserves the snow partial motion and accretion distribution characteristics. When only the particle diameter is scaled, the particle mass decreases most significantly, which markedly alters the particle's motion trajectories.
