Enhancing Resilience of Silty Clay Soils with Basalt Fibers: Evaluating Geotechnical Performance under Freeze–Thaw Cycles and Temperature Variations

Abstract Freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles critically degrade the mechanical performance of fine-grained soils, challenging infrastructure resilience in cold regions. Silty clayey soils in northern Quebec, which have high frost susceptibility and water retention, are particularly vulnerab...
