Evaluation of Creep Indicators of Plastic-Frozen Soil According to Laboratory and Field Tests

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

This article discusses the possibility of determining the creep indices of plastic-frozen soils using laboratory and field methods, as well as the problem of their comparability, taking into account the systemic errors inherent in laboratory methods. A general method has been developed for determining soil creep indices based on data from field tests of soils with a pile and a stamp and laboratory studies under conditions of compression, uniaxial, and triaxial compression. An example of determining and comparing creep indices according to pile, compression, and uniaxial compression tests is presented.
