In seasonal frozen soil area, the engineering problems caused by the excessive moisture content of the subgrade soil are widespread. In view of this phenomenon, author proposes to employ a new type of research and development of the seepage drainage geogrid (SDG) to cool and drain the soil. Through indoor model test, after two freeze-thaw cycles, the experimental comparison of the size and laying method of various SDG was carried out. The test result shows that the model with a natural grit layer has the most drainage effect. While, the model contains two layers of interconnected grilles has the best cooling effect. The indoor model test is simulated by accurate numerical simulation. The simulation results are compared with the indoor test results. The fitting results of the two results are very high, which provides theoretical support and data guarantee for the application of seepage drainage grille to strengthen the roadbed in the cold road.

The global warming will lead to rising temperature in Tibetan plateau which will cause some trouble to the long-term stability of frozen soil roadbed. Of course, the temperature is the most important to stability analysis and study of frozen soil roadbed. In this paper, taking the frozen soil roadbed in Tibetan plateau as an example, the numerical simulation model is established. Firstly, the characteristics of temperature fields of frozen soil roadbed in the future 50 years are analyzed, and then the vertical and horizontal displacements without load and under dynamic load are analyzed.

Frost-heave and thaw-settlement of roadbed soil in highway will influence directly the durability, safe traffic flow and construction & maintenance costs in high-cold areas, therefore, recognizing and analysing the common embankment technologies of highway roadbed in high-cold areas accurately is significant to the effective controlling of project invest and the highway construction with limited funds in minority areas. The relations of Moisture Content and the freeze-thaw performances of roadbed fillers, subgrade soil were got respectively by experiments, and the results shows: Moisture Content has larger influence on the frost-heave and thaw-settlement performance of the soil. During the embankment of roadbed, the Moisture Content of fillers should be controlled nearby the optimum Moisture Content. The frost-heave and thaw-settlement occurs mainly in the subgrade soil, controlling the Moisture Content of subgrade soil is very important to improve the up-limit of frozen-soil, keep the stability of frozen-soil, control the thaw-settlement of roadbed and get rid of the roadbed diseases.

Through the coupling analysis of temperature and displacement fields in freeze-thaw process of soil by ABAQUS software, a numerical simulation method of the two fields coupling in freeze-thaw process of soil is put forward. In computation, the temperature field is analyzed firstly, and then the physico-mechanical parameters are defined as functions of temperature field. The geometric model and boundary conditions of numerical simulation are identical with these in laboratorial tests. By comparing the computation results of soil freeze-thaw process with its laboratorial test results, it was found that on the curve of soil freeze-thaw process obtained from laboratorial tests there is a short frost-swelling phenomenon at the initial stage of freeze-thaw process, and then is continuous thaw condition, but on the numerical computation curve, the reflect of soil frost swelling stage isn’t obvious. With the exception of this the numerical computation result and laboratorial test result are more identical. The frost-swelling quantum is very small, so the main expression of overall deformation of soil is thaw-settlement deformation. Therefore the frost swelling phenomenon doesn’t influence the end quantum of settlement. For this reason, the computing method introduced in this paper can be used to conduct numerical simulation of the thaw-settlement of frozen soil and to a certain extent guide the designs of subgrade and pavement in permafrost zones.

The physical model and calculating model of temperature field are founded according to the founded controlling equation. By simulating the changing progress of climate features, the temperature field of roadbed in permafrost region in different season was obtained. And some results are got by analyzing the diversity of temperature of key points. The last, the technology assumption of effectively controlling tympanites which combines replacing part frozen soil and resisting highway tympanites structure is brought up.

Three kinds of subgrade soils with different plasticity index are selected from seasonally frozen soil region. Frost heaving ratio of volume and height was performed on the samples exposed to 0 to 8 times closed-system freeze-thaw cycles. The results show that concerning the same kind of soil, the frost heaving ratio increases with the number of freeze-thaw cycles; Frost heaving ratio increases with plasticity index under the same number of freeze-thaw cycles. Multiple nonlinear fitting is adopted for test data. The relationship between frost heaving ratio and plasticity index, freeze-thaw cycles is obtained and shows a good correlation. The relation can provide useful reference for subgrade design and construction in seasonally frozen soil region.

Three different plasticity index subgrade soils are selected from seasonal frozen soil area. Triaxial compression test under different confining pressures are executed on the samples exposed to 0 to 7 times closed-system freeze-thaw cycles. The conclusion gotten is that to the same kind of soil under the same freeze-thaw cycles, the shear strength increases with confining pressure; Shear strength with the same confining pressure decreases with the number of freeze-thaw cycles; With the same confining pressure and the same freeze-thaw cycles, shear strength increases with the plasticity index. Exponential function is adopted for multiple nonlinear fitting on the test results. The relationship between shear strength and confining pressure, plasticity index, freeze-thaw cycles is obtained and shows a good correlation.

In this paper, a mathematical model based on spherical differential unit cell is proposed as a model for studying seasonal freeze-thaw soil space infinitesimal differential unit cell. From this model, the basic equations of permafrost moisture and heat flow motion are directly derived, then the linked equations form the permafrost water-heat coupled transport model. On this basis, the one-dimensional seasonal permafrost water-heat transport equation is derived. The model reduces the original spatial three-variable coordinate system (parallel hexahedron) into a coupled equation with a single spherical radius (R) as the independent variable, so the iterations of the numerical simulation algorithm is greatly reduced and the complexity is decreased. Finally, the model is used to simulate the seasonal freeze-thaw soil in the ShiHeZi region of Xinjiang, China. The principle of the simulation is to collect the soil temperature and humidity values of the region in layers and fixed-points using a homemade freeze-thaw soil sensor, after that we solve it by numerical calculation using MATLAB. The analysis results show that the maximum relative error of the model we proposed is 4.36, the minimum error is 0.98, and the average error is 2.515. The numerical simulation results are basically consistent with the measured data, then the proposed model is consistent with the matching states of permafrost moisture content and soil temperature in the region at different times. In addition, the experiments also demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of the model.
