Abstrait:

In low-temperature stable permafrost regions, both active and passive cooling measures are commonly employed to ensure the long-term stability of highway structures. However, despite adopting these measures, various types of structural issues caused by permafrost degradation remain prevalent in high-grade highways. This indicates that in addition to preventing permafrost melting, structural reinforcement of the foundation is still necessary. Based on the analysis of the long-term foundation temperature field and settlement using the finite element method, which was validated through an indoor top-down freeze–thaw cycle test, this paper explores, for the first time, the feasibility of applying geosynthetic-encased gravel pile composite highway foundations—previously commonly used for permafrost destruction—in low-temperature stable permafrost areas where permafrost protection is the primary principle. By analyzing the long-term temperature field, settlement behavior, and pile–soil stress ratios of permafrost foundations influenced by both the highway structure and composite foundation, it was found that when the pile diameter is 0.5 m, pile spacing is 2 m, and pile length is 11 m, the mean monthly ground temperature of the permafrost foundation will not be significantly affected. Therefore, the properly designed geosynthetic-encased gravel pile composite highway foundation can be adopted in low-temperature stable permafrost regions where permafrost protection, rather than destruction, is required.
