Conversely, changes in the parameters of the saturated soil medium have a greater effect on transmitted waves than on reflected waves.

However, despite these risks, comprehensive investigations of thaw-hazard susceptibility in permafrost regions remain limited. Here, this gap is addressed by a systematic and long-term investigation of thaw hazards in China's Qinghai Province as a representative permafrost area. A detailed inventory of 534 thaw-hazard sites was developed based on remote sensing, field verification, and surveys by a UAV, providing critical data for susceptibility analysis. Eleven environmental factors influencing thaw hazards were identified and analyzed using information gain and Shapley additive explanation. By using the random forest model, a susceptibility map was generated, categorizing the study area into five susceptibility classes: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. The key influencing factors include precipitation, permafrost type, temperature change rate, and human activity. The results reveal that 17.5 % of the permafrost region within the study area is classified as high to very high susceptibility, concentrated primarily near critical infrastructure such as the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, potentially posing significant risks to its structural stability. The random forest model shows robust predictive capability, achieving an accuracy of 0.906 and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.965. These findings underscore the critical role of advanced modeling in understanding the spatial distribution and drivers of thaw hazards, offering actionable insights for hazard mitigation and infrastructure protection in permafrost regions under a changing climate.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10522,"journal":{"name":"Cold Regions Science and Technology","volume":"240 ","pages":"Article 104648"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144885550","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}

This study develops a six-degree-of-freedom numerical model to predict the trajectory, rotation, velocity, and impact areas of ice fragments. The mathematical model is solved using Euler angles, Newton's second law, and Euler's laws of motion, and implemented using the Runge-Kutta method. This approach offers greater accuracy in simulating translation and rotation compared to previous methods. The study also provides a detailed examination of the concept of apparent mass and analyzes its effect along with the influences of angular velocity, aerodynamic forces and moments, wind velocity, and ice mass. Average values for lift, drag, and moments are generally considered. However, Theodorsen's unsteady lift is also considered in this study to examine the effect of apparent mass. The results of this study are used to identify unsafe areas around turbines, and the importance of identifying these areas is highlighted through a case study of a real turbine located near a highway. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations and random data were used to more accurately assess the simultaneous impact of various parameters on the unsafe areas around the turbines. The analysis shows that using 3000 samples provides a reliable estimate of the consequence distance with stable mean and standard deviation values. Increasing the number of samples beyond 3000 results in only marginal improvements in accuracy while significantly increasing computational costs. Therefore, 3000 samples represent an optimal balance between precision and efficiency in risk assessment.

To study the evolution of frost-heaving pressure in rock, a series of unidirectional freezing experiments were conducted on red sandstones with prefabricated cracks under varying crack widths and cooling rates. Through an analysis of the temperature distribution characteristics within the fractures, the evolution of frost-heaving pressure was elucidated, and its peak value was determined using the coupled expansion method, which accounts for both rock and ice within the cracks. Results show that the frost-heaving pressure in cracks of different depths evolves synchronously. However, as depth increases, the peak frost-heaving pressure increases gradually, and at the same depth, the peak frost-heaving pressure increases as crack width increases. The peak frost-heaving pressure at the crack bottom decreases as the cooling rate decreases. The frost-heaving pressure in the middle of the crack first increases and then decreases as the cooling rate increases. Additionally, the theoretical model indicates that the distribution characteristics of residual water are the key factors affecting the frost-heaving pressure distribution. The effect of crack geometry parameters and cooling rate on frost-heaving pressure is controlled by the changes in residual water content. The loss of residual water drives the redistribution of frost-heaving pressure during crack propagation.

The heating characteristics of steel fiber modified asphalt mixtures were investigated under different steel fiber contents, heating distances and currents.

The results indicated that the heating characteristics and IFTs were well predicted by the ternary quadratic equation under different test conditions. The deicing times obtained from the IFTs were shorter and more intuitive than the ones derived from the heating rate. The removal of the ice from the mixture surface was hindered by its interaction with the surface texture. The salt ions promoted the generation of bubbles and pores in the ice, resulting in shorter IFTs. In addition, the steel fiber coating improved deicing efficiency by 26.2 % and reduced the steel fiber content by 90.3 % compared to the steel fiber modified asphalt mixture.

Nonetheless, inclined installation of freezing pipes, aside from the conventional horizontal or vertical configurations, frequently arises due to the complex subterranean pipelines and restricted construction areas. The directional dependence of mechanical properties of lean clay under such conditions remains insufficiently investigated. To address this issue, it is essential to systematically analyze the coupled effect of freezing temperature and sampling angle on the mechanical behavior of lean clay, which is commonly encountered in shield tunnel excavation. Consequently, this study proposed an apparatus and its method for preparing anisotropic clay specimens sampled at various angles ranging from 0° to 90° relative to the natural deposition direction. The anisotropic characteristics of the specimens was verified through the 3D X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning, focusing on porosity. Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests were then conducted on lean clay specimens prepared by slurry-based consolidation method. The impact of anisotropy on mechanical properties was comprehensively investigated by testing specimens at different sampling angles <em>θ</em> (0°、30°、45°、60° and 90°). The UCS results showed consistent strain-hardening behavior across different sampling angles under subfreezing temperatures of −5 °C, −10 °C and − 15 °C. The combined influences of anisotropy and freezing temperature on the strength of frozen lean clay were discussed by regression analysis. UCS exhibited an exponential decrease with increasing sample angle, and a linear rise with decreasing freezing temperature. A mathematical model was established to predict strength and deformation behavior of lean clay, incorporating the coupled effects of anisotropy and freezing conditions. In addition, the correlation between macroscopic strength and mesoscopic porosity was investigated. The augmentation of porosity resulted in a diminution of frozen soil strength. The research provides a reliable foundation for predicting of mechanical properties of lean clay in the AGF-reinforced engineering of subway tunnel and holds practical engineering significance for disease control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10522,"journal":{"name":"Cold Regions Science and Technology","volume":"240 ","pages":"Article 104628"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144814020","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}
