Strength of soils frozen to pipeline materials

  • Experimental Investigations
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Test results are presented for various types of soils subject to shear when frozen to the surface of materials used for the construction of oil and gas pipelines. The role of various factors in the formation of the cryogenic structure of the surface of freezing, and its effect on the development of adhesion between soils and materials is indicated.
