Under the influence of climate warming and permafrost degradation, its embankment–bridge transition section (EBTS) is increasingly susceptible to structural deterioration. However, systematic investigations into EBTS distresses on permafrost expressways remained limited. This study conducted a field survey of 240 EBTSs in the permafrost zone of the GYE, employing an integrated method combining unmanned aerial vehicle and ground penetrating radar. The distribution characteristics and evolutionary mechanisms of EBTS distress in permafrost expressway were firstly elucidated, and a novel EBTS structure to mitigate such distress was proposed. The results indicate that EBTS distresses on the GYE can be classified into five primary types: uneven settlement, upheaval mound of the protection-cone, subsidence of the protection-cone, cracks of the protection-cone and dislocation between the wing walls and abutments. Over 90% of the surveyed EBTSs exhibit varying degrees of distress, with uneven settlement—typically less than 20 cm—being the most prevalent. These are predominantly located in the section extending from Maduo County to Bayan Har Mountain. High ground temperature and water accumulation beneath the bridge structure are identified as the primary factors contributing to settlement. Furthermore, EBTS distress follows a progressive evolution mechanism: it initiates with uneven pavement settlement, progresses to deformation of the protection cones, and ultimately leads to dislocation between wing walls and abutments. This study represents the first systematic analysis of EBTS distress characteristics and their developmental mechanisms in permafrost expressways, offering both a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for mitigating such issues in cold-region infrastructure engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56013,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Geotechnics","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101945"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146190532","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}

The effects of varying debris flow velocities and impact heights on the damage modes of key structural components, including bridge piers, bearings, sliding layers, and rails, were analyzed in detail.

Peak deformation envelopes along the bridge were generally symmetric.

Sliding layer damage was concentrated in areas near longitudinal sliding bearings without the shear alveolar. The rails showed asymmetric stepped deformation under the debris flow impacts.

In this study, the engineering performance of mudstone waste was evaluated through a series of slaking, direct shear, swelling strain, and crack development tests. The experimental results demonstrate that vertical stress intensifies slaking behavior by promoting particle breakage. As slaking progresses, the shear strength of mudstone progressively decreases, primarily because the increasing fraction of fine particles disrupts the formation of load-bearing force chains between coarse grains. Swelling strain exhibits a nonmonotonic evolution: it initially decreases as particle breakage and rearrangement reduce the swelling capacity, but subsequently increases owing to the accumulation of finer particles with higher swelling potential. In addition, contacts between coarse and fine particles act as structural weak points that strongly influence crack propagation. The breakage of coarse particles during slaking process reduces the number of such weak interfaces and thereby modifies the crack pattern. Although the overall crack ratio remains constant, the cracks network undergoes a morphological transition towards shorter, wider cracks.

This study investigates the influence of inherent anisotropy and freezing temperature on the mechanical characteristics of frozen lean clay.

Pore parameters, including equivalent radius, throat length, and coordination number, followed a normal distribution and exhibited obvious sampling angle-dependent variations. Furthermore, the influence of freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles on UCS, elastic modulus and porosity were quantified. The damage parameters were extracted using macroscopic elastic modulus and microscopic fractal dimension as independent variables, and a coupled macro-meso damage model was established.

Studying the inductive correlation mechanism between the cyclic loading–unloading damage of jointed rock mass and subsequent freeze–thaw cycles is of great significance for the scientific evaluation of the long-term stability of related rock engineering projects. Sequential cyclic loading–unloading, freeze–thaw tests, and subsequent uniaxial loading were conducted on jointed rock masses, integrated with NMR, AE, and DIC monitoring, to examine how prior cyclic damage influences subsequent freeze–thaw damage and governs the macro- to <em>meso</em>-scale damage evolution under uniaxial loading. The results indicate that the impacts of the sequential effects of cyclic loading–unloading followed by freeze–thaw cycles on the evolution of rock mass pore structure exhibit significant scale differences. Cyclic loading–unloading primarily promote the emergence of micro- and small pores, while freeze–thaw cycles accelerate the expansion and connectivity of mesopores and macropores. Although cyclic loading–unloading have a limited impact on the overall porosity of the rock mass, the number of microscopic pores significantly increases. During the freeze‑thaw phase, frost‑heave pressure drives the interconnection and coalescence of micro‑pores, forming meso‑ and macro‑pores with increased susceptibility to frost‑heave damage, which in turn exacerbates the overall freeze‑thaw deterioration. During the stage of stable damage of the rock mass, energy and ringdown counts decrease with decreasing freezing temperature. At high levels of loading–unloading stress, the damage mechanism transitions from crack propagation to crack sliding, promoting more sudden failure. The freeze–thaw cycle dominates the process of deterioration of rock mass initiation strength and fracture toughness, and compressive strength also decreases accordingly with decreasing freezing temperature. Higher levels of macroscopic joint damage significantly reduce the peak strength of the rock mass and induce more pronounced mesoscale damage evolution under loading.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56013,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Geotechnics","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 101929"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146189912","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}
