Abstract The engineering properties of frozen saline soils gradually deteriorate with increasing freeze–thaw cycles, adversely affecting the safety of foundations and geotechnical structures. The static and dynamic characteristics of straw-lime reinforced saline soil (SLRSS) under freeze–thaw action were investigated in this study. Firstly, the unconfined compression strength (UCS) tests were adopted to evaluate the effect of freeze–thaw cycles on the UCS of SLRSS.
