This study proposes a novel mechanical model for frost heave failure based on dual-parameter elastic foundation beam theory, incorporating the non-uniform deformation behavior commonly observed in engineering practice. The interaction between foundation soil frost heave and the lining is represented by a system of springs, with the lining boundaries modeled as elastic supports. Model accuracy is validated through comparison with field measurements and prior studies. Results show that the elastic boundary more accurately captures the deformation behavior near the top and foot of the lining. Compared with elastic boundaries, simply supported conditions result in 28.05 % greater peak displacement, 29.75 % higher peak bending moment, and 49.13 % lower shear force at the top of the lining. When elastic boundaries are included, negative bending moments emerge near the lining ends. As the vertical spring stiffness increases, the peak frost heave displacement initially decreases and then rises, while the extent of the negative bending moment regime contracts. A similar non-monotonic trend is observed for peak bending moment with increasing torsional spring stiffness, accompanied by expansion of the negative moment regions at the top and foot. When the torsional stiffness becomes excessively large, the absolute value of the negative moment exceeds that of the positive moment at the boundary, leading to a shift in the critical failure location. Increasing the lining thickness from 6 cm to 14 cm results in a 48.12 % reduction in peak frost heave displacement, with the location of maximum displacement shifting 15 cm toward the center of the lining.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10522,"journal":{"name":"Cold Regions Science and Technology","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 104715"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145323611","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}

Effective mitigation of thermally induced borehole collapse/closure risks in Antarctic air drilling necessitates understanding the aero-thermo-mechanical (ATM) coupling effect in Antarctic air drilling systems. This paper presents a coupled ATM model, which incorporates a Helmholtz energy thermodynamic model for air and the equation of state for H₂O Ice Ih revised by IAPWS (the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam), characterizing real thermodynamic behavior and properties of air and ice. And three failure indices are modified to account for temperature sensitivity and compared with the Derradji-Aouat failure index. They are used to quantify high-strain-rate brittle failure risks from the perspective of tension, shear, and phase transition. Ice deformation under low strain rates is governed by the Maxwell model. Numerical solutions derived from U.S. RAM-2 drilling parameters via finite element methods reveal key findings: As airflow transitions from the drill hose into the annulus through a “transition zone,” it exhibits abrupt property changes. The ATM coupling effect creates localized regions along the ice wall with steep temperature gradients (ΔT ≈ 20 K) and stress fluctuations (Δσ ≈ 0.01 MPa). Extreme transitions in these regions increase closure or collapse risks, primarily due to tensile failure. Lowering the temperature of the injected air can effectively reduce tensile failure risks.

In this study, dynamic impact tests were performed on red sandstone specimens with saturated water coefficients ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 under ambient and negative temperatures, based on the improved split Hopkinson pressure bar system, by integrating a real-time sub-zero temperature control module. The temperature influence factor (TIF) has been creatively defined, establishing the relationship between the dynamic parameters of ambient-temperature rocks and cryogenic rocks, thus filling the gap where no connection existed between them. The results demonstrate that, under a fixed moisture content, both the dynamic uniaxial compressive strength (<em>σ</em>_cd) and the dynamic elastic modulus (<em>E</em>_d) increase with decreasing temperature. Due to the influence of the saturation coefficient on the content of ice formed by phase change of water in rock pore (weakening effect of unfrozen water at low saturation coefficients→strengthening effect of ice at moderate saturation coefficients→deterioration effect of excessive ice at high saturation coefficients), both <em>σ</em>_cd and <em>E</em>_d of frozen red sandstone follow a three-stage evolution pattern of first decreasing, then increasing, and finally decreasing with increasing saturation coefficients.

Temperature, water content, electrical conductivity, and microstructure were comprehensively analyzed. Results indicate that geotextile layers effectively delayed the downward movement of the freezing front and suppressed upward migration of water and salt by forming thermal resistance and capillary barriers. Among the tested materials, the polypropylene geotextile with 200 g/m² unit area (PP2) showed the strongest barrier performance, reducing surface salt content by 66.7 % owing to its lower permeability and stronger hydrophobicity. Water-salt migration was most intense when the initial salt content ranged from 3.22 % to 3.60 %, suggesting that single-layer barriers in this range carry a high risk and require reinforcement measures to mitigate subgrade damage. Microstructural observations further confirmed that PP2 effectively restricted crack development and preserved pore stability under freeze-thaw cycles.

Therefore, analyzing the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of compacted Antarctic snow is essential for ensuring safe operation of snow runways. Previous studies conducted uniaxial compression tests on non-Antarctic snow, revealing that the mechanical behavior of snow was influenced by factors such as density, temperature and loading rate. In particular, loading rate significantly altered the failure mode of snow: low loading rates led to ductile failure, while high loading rates resulted in brittle failure. Although previous research has explored the effect of loading rate on the failure mode of snow, the ductile to brittle transition behavior of compacted Antarctic snow utilized in snow runway construction in Antarctica, as well as the corresponding sintering time effect have rarely been studied. This paper replicated the construction process of Antarctic snow runways in sample preparation, i.e., the procedure of crushing, sieving, compacting, and sintering of the natural Antarctic snow was followed. Uniaxial compression tests were then employed to investigate the effects of different loading rates, densities, and sintering times on the failure process of compacted Antarctic snow. The results indicated that under identical density and loading rate conditions, extending the sintering time from 3 to 18 h resulted in a 1–39 % strength increase, while prolongation to 48 h achieved a further 9–53 % improvement over the 18-h samples. When maintaining identical sintering time and loading rate conditions, increasing the snow density from 0.5 to 0.6 g/cm³ led to a significant strength increase (125–218 %). It was worth noting that under the same sintering time and density, as the compression rate increased from 1 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ to 1 × 10⁻² s⁻¹, the compressive strength of the snow samples decreased monotonically, which was different from previous studies utilizing non-Antarctic snow. Additionally, both the longitudinal and transverse deformation of the snow samples became more pronounced as the loading rate decreased, especially at low loading rates (1 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ and 5 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹).

Fresh and stockpiled (aged) BOFSs were first evaluated for their physical and mechanical properties, including abrasive angularity, absorption capacity, and thermal capacity, to assess their potential for improved surface treatment for ice melting. Then, BOFS was combined with deicing salts, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl₂) to form a blended ice-melting agent for winter maintenance. A series of laboratory tests was conducted to evaluate ice-melting performance using a petri dish and polishing ice-melting tests, as well as to examine surface temperature and clogging effects after abrasive application under controlled conditions. The experimental results show that both BOFS demonstrated good ice-melting efficiency and had higher heat and water absorption capacities than natural abrasives. For instance, slag-based abrasives show approximately 30–40 % higher ice-melting efficiency than river sand and exhibit a 2–3 °C higher temperature rise under sunlight exposure. The findings of this study highlight the potential of BOFS not only as a viable abrasive material but also as a way to reduce environmental impacts associated with traditional practices that use natural sand.
