A Review on Freeze and Thaw Effects on Geotechnical Parameters
Abstract Freeze-thaw cycles create major issues in cold regions, where unstabilized soil directly exposed to the harsh environment. Freeze-thaw effects are more vulnerable when soil has to be used for embankments, open cuts, pavements etc. Many index properties such as plasticity index, density, unit weight etc. were found highly affected during freeze and thaw cycles. Hydraulic properties were also found affected due to change in void ratio. Many researchers around the globe are focusing to overcome this certain problem and found some applicable solutions for this. Lime was found a better solution for reclamation of soil. Reinforcement of the subjected soil by using artificial and natural fibers was also found another effective solution for the crack propagation in the soil during experience of freeze and thaw cycles. This review paper emphasis on methods of investigation, material, testing procedures and the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on essential geotechnical properties.
