Based on the advantages of perforated ventilation characteristic of perforated ventilation pipe embankment
and large porosity of blocky stone embankment, composite embankment with ventilation pipe and blocky
stone is more efficient to protect the underlying permafrost. The temperature fields and cooling effect of composite
embankment with air doors are simulated by examining the effects of holes’ position drilled in the pipe,
diameter in pipe and density of holes. It is shown that the underlying permafrost temperature obviously reduces
by composite methods, the location of 0?C isotherm raises significantly, especially permafrost temperature under
the center and shoulder of embankment reduces more quickly, the composite embankment with holes drilled in
the lower side of pipe is the most efficient, the increase of diameter has a slight influence on the 0?C isotherm’s
raising, and the density of holes slightly influences the raising of 0?C isotherm.
