This paper presents experimental design and construction data for new methods of strengthening railroad embankments on very icy permafrost soils. Most of these methods are based on adjusting the ratio of cooling and warming factors to reduce the average annual soil temperature and to preserve the original soils' permanently frozen state. One method includes preventive removal of very icy masses from the permanently frozen base, and then refilling the cavities formed with a high consistency soil.
