Macroscopic mechanical response and microscopic action mechanism of hydrogel–modified Yili loess in seasonal frozen region
To address the significant geotechnical engineering challenge of stability degradation in loess slopes within the Yili River Valley region induced by seasonal freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles, the study innovatively introduces polymer hydrogel (dosage of 3%) as the modified material. Undisturbed loess from Ili, Xinjiang, was u...
