The solution for modeling the operation of road pavement during the thawing of soil in the subgrade of highways is proposed in this work. A model for layer-by-layer thawing of soil in the subgrade of highways was developed and illustrated, including the stage of modeling the change in the strength of the road structure during the thawing of soil, determining the dependence of the structural strength on the depth of soil thawing, thermophysical modeling of the process of freezing/thawing of soil in the subgrade using a software complex “Freeze-1” developed by the SSTU with determination of the dependence of the structural strength on time.
