description In this paper, a comprehensive series of dynamic triaxial tests were conducted to delve into the influence of temperature and moisture content on the behavior of frozen silty clay. Upon scrutinizing the experimental outcomes under prolonged reciprocal cyclic loading, insights were gained into how varying temperatures and moisture contents impact the cumulative permanent strain (CPS) and critical dynamic stress (CDS) of frozen clay. The results show that the variation curves of CPS with the number of cyclic loadings show significant changes at different temperatures and moisture contents. Additionally, based on the assessment of vertical CPS recorded at the 100th and 1000th loading iterations, criteria for assessing the plastic stability and plastic creep threshold of frozen silty clay were devised. Consequently, an analysis was conducted to delineate the correlation between the variation in vertical cumulative strains and the dynamic stresses applied within the frozen clay, resulting in the formulation of a series of correlation curves. The relationship between the changes in CDS affected by different temperatures and water contents were analyzed. The CDS under the plastic stability and plastic creep limits showed a slowly increasing trend with decreasing temperatures and a slowly decreasing trend with increasing water contents.
