Geo-energy infrastructure, such as ground source heat systems (thermo-active structures), induce thermal cycles that can result in changes of the bearing capacity of soil by changing, for example, the void ratio, soil structure, unit weight and hydraulic conductivity. The influence of repeated freeze/thaw (FT) cycles and different freezing rates on the shear strength of a frost susceptible Illite clay was investigated. Samples were subjected to between 1 and 20 FT cycles, and the shear strength of the thawed material was determined using undrained unconsolidated triaxial tests. After the shear strength decrease due to the first FT cycle, a transitory shear strength recovery occurred between 1 and 3 freezing cycles, followed by a shear stren...
