Due to inappropriate protective measures during construction, building structures in cold regions can easily suffer from frost heaving damage during the wintering period. Such damage is relatively invisible and can hardly be detected. According to the actual engineering conditions, this paper comprehensively analyzes the destructional form of each building element at low temperatures as well as discusses the methods to detect and evaluate damage of buildings at low temperatures. The author finds that: Under low-temperature environment, punching failure often occurs between the foundation slab and bearing platform and the anchor connection between the pile and bearing platform can easily become ineffective.
