Abstract
The freezing and thawing process of soils in cold regions can cause serious damage to transportation infrastructure. This paper provides a microstructure based random finite element simulation model that describes the thermal-hydro-mechanical behaviors of frozen soils subjected to the freezing/thawing process. The mechanical and thermal behaviors simulated by the FEM model agree well with the experimental measurements, which provides a reliable simulation tool to predict the frozen soil behaviors during the freezing and thawing process.
