Comparative Evaluation of the Resistance of Polyethylene and Steel Pipelines to a Frost Crack

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

We have carried out a comparative evaluation of the resistance of polyethylene and steel pipes to the action of a frost crack, i.e., to the discontinuity in the near-surface ground layer resulting from the occurrence of complex geocryological processes in the season-thawing layer of ever-frozen grounds.
