Sumario:In this study, the channel frost heaving actions in the Hetao irrigation area of Inner Mongolia were examined and a field in-situ test platform was established. Then, experimental investigations were conducted regarding the insulating and anti-freeze effects of polystyrene boards under the conditions of concrete bags with different thicknesses. In this study's experiments, concrete bags with different thicknesses were set, along with a test block of polystyrene boards with different thicknesses. The research results showed that by adding 2–5 cm molded bags, the total accumulated temperature increased in the range of 3.93–9.22% and the frost heave rate decreased by between 18.28 and 55.44% concrete, on the basis of 10 cm molded bag concrete. In addition, when 4–8 cm polystyrene boards were laid, the total accumulated temperature increased by 207.63–272.25%, and the frost heave rate decreased by between 71.43 and 96.6%. The absolute slope of the curve fitting of the frost heave rates and the soil temperatures decreased by 44.6–58.7%. HIGHLIGHTS The results show that, the biggest bending moment of channel slope is in the 1/3 of canal slope, the biggest shear is in the toe of slope, the biggest bending moment of canal bottom is in the 1/2 of the Canal bottom.; According to the judgment of Typical Channel, frost heaving damage will occur on the slope and bottom of the South Branch Canal without taking insulation measures.;
