Failure Mechanism of Salt Barrier in Saline Soil Subgrade in Cold and Arid Plateau Areas by Yurong Zhang, Wen Zhang, Yanbin Fan, Shiyi Liu, Yunxiu He, Yi Zou

“…The vibration load of the road surface causes the fine soil particles to migrate downward into the coarse-grained salt barrier, reducing the thickness of the salt barrier. Under the combined effect of these three effects, the salt barrier of the saline soil subgrade in cold and arid areas fails to resist salt migration, and the subgrade is prone to secondary salinization.…”
