Spatiotemporal Mechanical Effects of Framework–Slope Systems Under Frost Heave Conditions by Wendong Li, Xiaoqiang Hou, Jixian Ren, Chaoyang Wu

“…Along the height of the soil arch, the intensity of the reverse frost heave force field displays a nonlinear distribution characteristic of initial strengthening followed by attenuation. (4) By analyzing the changes in anchor rod axial forces during frost heaving, it was found that axial forces during the frost heave period are approximately 1.3 times those under natural conditions, confirming the frost heave period as the most critical condition for frame anchor design. …”
