Abstract
Based on the monitoring data from 13 typical monitoring sites along the Qinghai–Tibet Highway, the degradation characteristics of the permafrost under asphalt pavement and natural ground surface were analyzed with considerations of climate warming and engineering disturbance. Results indicated that the mean annual thawing indexes (MATI) and mean annual freezing indexes (MAFI) of asphalt pavement ranged from 895 to 2,540 °C days and from 290 to...
