Abstract: The Bayin Guoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is located in the seasonal frost zone with a frozen depth 0.6- 1.2 m. Frost heaving action severely affects the safety of water conservancy projects (including canals, headworks, locks, etc) and their operation. Some applicable anti-freezing measures for preventing hydraulic structures have been worked out by summarizing experience from practices through constant trial and error, which hace been proved feasible and effective.
