Studying Frozen Soil with CT Technology: Present Studies and Prospects

In this paper, the characteristics of CT technology are introduced, and the history and current situation of using CT technology on frozen soil study are reviewed, including auxiliary equipment specially designed for frozen soil testing, using CT number to analyze frozen soil internal structure change, using CT number to define and explore damage evolution, and using CT images to observe soil mesostructure. In addition, representative achievements in frozen soil study in relation to CT technology are also summarized in this paper. Finally, problems, possible solutions and challenges in frozen soil study by using CT are pointed out. It is emphatically introduced how to obtain higher quality CT images and how to process digital CT images of frozen soil. The relations between CT number and each component of frozen soil specimens are also discussed. It is found that CT technology is one of the most ideal and effective technologies for studying frozen soil mesostructure as a non-destructive manner. CT technology will play more significant role in the study of frozen soil by means of auxiliary equipment and digital images processing.
