Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Experimental dependences of the strength of frozen sandy soil on strain rate are analyzed using a structural–temporal approach. Results of dynamic uniaxial compression tests at a temperature of −18°C and strain rates of 400 to 2600 s−1 of frozen sandy soil specimens of two types with an ice mass fraction of 10 and 18% measured at room temperature are presented. The strain rate dependence at different freezing temperatures of frozen sand with an ice mass fraction of 30% is studied using known experimental data.
