Feedback of hydro-thermal-chemical dynamics on salt-frost heave in sulfate-affected soils: Insights from freeze-thaw cycle experiments
Freeze-thaw cycles (FTC) significantly intensify salt-frost heave (SFH) in sulfate-affected soils, threatening the long-term safety and stability of engineering projects in salinized cold regions. The FTC experiments were conducted on sulfate-affected soils with varying initial moisture content, salt content, and temperature amplitude to analyze moisture-heat-solute transfer and the SFH characteristics. The study identified how variations in water and salt content affect the SFH and residual deformation, revealing the feedback mechanism of water and salt redistribution on the SFH. The study shows that, a salt peak forms in the freezing zone of sulfate-affected soils during the FTC. Increased initial moisture content promotes moisture-solute migration, while higher salt content inhibits salt precipitation. After FTC, salt redistribution varies with changes in initial moisture and salt content. Higher moisture content accelerates the migration of water and salts to the freezing zone, causing greater salt accumulation and more pronounced residual deformation. Increased salt content raises the total amount of salts in the freezing zone, enhancing the SFH and residual deformation. Lowering the temperature at the cold end increases the migration of moisture and solutes, further promoting salt and water accumulation in the freezing zone and resulting in more significant the SFH. Soil deformation is linked to moisture-solute migration, ice-water phase transition, and salt precipitation-dissolution process. This chain-like failure process starts with migration and accumulation, followed by dynamic redistribution, pore enrichment, and crystallization-induced damage. The study reveals the coupled hydro-thermal-chemical-mechanical (HTCM) interaction in sulfate saline soil during the FTC, providing a theoretical foundation for engineering projects in cold regions, and improving the safety and stability of such projects throughout their lifecycle in saline-affected areas.
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.
