Method to Quantify Freeze-Thaw Effects on Temperate Climate Soils: Calvert Cliffs

Stability Monitoring of Embankments Constructed by Volcanic Coarse-Grained Soil in Snowy-Cold Regions

“…However, although a number of geotechnical studies on issues caused by freezing and thawing and frost heaving have been conducted (e.g., Xu et al 2011;Zhang and Hulsey 2015), in particular, analytical and in situ experimental approaches that investigated the instability of slopes by freezing and thawing are limited (e.g., Harries and Lewkowicz 2000;Yu et al 2016;Zwissler et al 2016;Flynn et al 2016). Among this research, for example, Xu et al (2011) investigated the effects of frozen soils on seismic site responses in Anchorage, Alaska.…”

“…Among this research, for example, Xu et al (2011) investigated the effects of frozen soils on seismic site responses in Anchorage, Alaska. Zwissler et al (2016) presented that the main control mechanism for slope recession in Calvert Cliffs was freeze-thaw events, and presented a method to quantify freeze-thaw effects.…”
