Dependence of Strength and Physical Properties of Frozen Sands on Moisture Content

  • CONSTRUCTION ON PERMAFROST
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The results of laboratory studies of the strength of frozen fine sand in a wide range of moisture content are presented. Plots of the strength vs moisture content (ice content) and an evaluation of their overall character at different temperatures are obtained. A combination of studies (short- and long-time experiments) established that in a narrow range of moisture content (ice content) of frozen fine sands the strength of the soil can change at times, which must be taken into account in research and design practice.
