Abstract

Abstract

Sandy soil specimens obtained from the East Extension Project of Nanchang Metro Line 2 underwent uniaxial compression testing to systematically investigate the effects of relative density and freezing temperature on failure modes, stress-strain relationships, uniaxial compressive strength, and elastic modulus of frozen sand. The investigation revealed that frozen sand under uniaxial compression predominantly exhibits failure modes characterized by plastic shear failure and plastic splitting failure, with stress-strain curves displaying notable strain-softening behavior. An increase in compaction degree coupled with a decrease in freezing temperature markedly enhances the brittle characteristics observed in specimen failure. The uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of frozen sand exhibit a significant increase in response to higher compaction degrees and lower freezing temperatures. As compaction degree rises, the sensitivity of sand to temperature fluctuations correspondingly intensifies. Through regression analysis, a relationship equation was formulated between uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus as functions of compaction degree and temperature. Based on the experimental data, a mathematical model was developed to characterize the stress-strain behavior of frozen sand, with its validity substantiated through comparison with experimental results.
