Determination of Deformation Characteristics of Permafrost from Impression of a Spherical Plate

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Solutions of the contact problem of the impression of a spherical plate are analyzed as applies to permafrost. The feasibility is indicated, and an equation proposed for determination of the compression modulus of permafrost from data derived from spherical-plate tests on the basis of results of solutions and experimental values.
