On the coefficient of temperature expansion of frozen soils

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

The need for investigation of temperature-induced deformations of frozen soils is demonstrated. Basic concepts associated with temperature-induced stresses and strains are cited. The influence of the “aftereffect” of temperature-induced deformations, which are closely associated with the rheology of frozen soils developed by S. S. Vyalov and his students, is briefly described.
