To investigate the effects of freeze–thaw (FT) cycles on mechanical properties coarse-grained soil in southeastern Xizang under different moisture contents, this study focuses from a large landslide deposit Linzhi City, Xizang. FT cycle tests, triaxial shear and numerical simulations were employed to systematically examine comprehensive impact varying cycles, content, confining pressure soil’s characteristics. The results show that significantly affect stress–strain behavior degree strain softening increased approximately 11.6% initially 31.2% after 15 with strength decreasing by an average 31.8%. Specifically, cohesion decreased 38% 55% 0 internal friction angle 29% 32%. Additionally, higher content led more pronounced degradation, while effectively mitigated these deteriorative effects. Numerical simulation indicated as 7.6% 11.6%, number required reach critical instability state 150 106, finally only 15, maximum equivalent plastic increasing 0.20 2.47. findings provide key parameters for understanding formation evolution disasters lay scientific foundation assessment long-term prevention cold-region geological hazards.
