In global cold regions and seasonal frozen soil areas, frost heave failure of rock slopes severely endangers infrastructure safety, particularly along China’s Sichuan–Tibet and Qinghai–Tibet Railways. To address this, a meshless numerical model based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method was developed to simulate progressive frost heave and fracture of water-saturated fissured rock masses—its novelty lies in avoiding grid distortion and artificial crack path assumptions of FEM as well as complex parameter calibration of DEM by integrating the maximum tensile stress criterion (with a binary fracture marker for particle failure), thermodynamic phase change theory (classifying fissure water into water, ice-water mixed, and ice particles), and the equivalent thermal expansion coefficient method to quantify frost heave force. Systematic simulations of fissure parameters (inclination angle, length, number, and row number) revealed that these factors significantly shape failure modes: longer fissures and more rows shift failure from strip-like to tree-like/network-like, more fissures accelerate crack coalescence, and larger inclination angles converge stress to fissure tips. This study clarifies key mechanisms and provides a theoretical/numerical reference for cold region rock slope stability control.
