To explore the mechanical properties of the interface between grouting and frozen soil in artificial freezing projects, the relationship between the shear strength of the grouting-frozen soil interface and the freezing negative temperature, initial moisture content, and normal stress was analyzed. Based on the fracture energy theory, the toughness coefficient was introduced to study the mechanical performance of the grouting-frozen soil interface. The research results show that the freezing negative temperature and initial moisture content mainly increase the cohesion of the grouting-frozen soil interface by affecting the ice bonding force at the interface, and the freezing negative temperature has a more significant impact on the interface strength. The peak shear displacement of the grouting-frozen soil interface is determined by multiple factors such as normal stress, freezing negative temperature, moisture content, and internal structure. Under high normal stress, the toughness coefficient of the grouting-frozen soil interface gradually increases as the freezing temperature decreases. Under low normal stress, the toughness coefficient of the grouting-frozen soil interface first increases and then decreases as the freezing temperature decreases. Under the conditions of 15% initial moisture content and 1 200 kPa normal stress, when the freezing negative temperature decreases from -5 ℃ to -20 ℃, the toughness coefficient of the grouting-frozen soil interface increases by 27%. The research conclusions provide a theoretical basis for the safety performance evaluation of artificial freezing projects.
