In order to reveal anti-frost heaving mechanism of soilbags under different freeze-thaw cycles in seasonally frozen regions
comparative model experiments on soilbags and soil are carried out under different freeze-thaw cycles
to investigate the frost heave relationship and the thawing settlement relationship between soilbags and soil
both in open and close systems. The results show that: Frost heave of soilbags is less than that of soil; thawing settlement of soilbags is also less than that of soil after experiencing 4 freeze-thaw cycles in closed system. Frost heave of soil is 1.9 times that of soilbags; thawing settlement of soil is 2.2 times that of soilbags in open system. Groundwater recharge for soilbags is far less than that for soil in open system. It is concluded that soilbags can efficiently prevent building foundation from frost heave collapse
and it can provide references to frost heave prevention of canal linings.
