Summary: | Tensile strength of frozen soil is an important index for frozen soil engineering design. It is found that uniaxial tensile strength, three-point bending and four-point bending tensile strength values of frozen soil are inconsistent in the test. For this reason, the meso-level numerical method is adopted, assuming that the meso-level material parameters conform to Weibull distribution, and the damage model is adopted, and the macro-level material properties conform to linear elasticity assumption. Uniaxial tensile test, three-point bending tensile test and four-point bending tensile test are respectively simulated. The results show that the difference comes from the non-uniformity of materials. The results of this paper provide effective guidance for frozen soil strength design.
