Influence of Thawing Conditions and Type of Testing on Deformation Characteristics of Thawing Soil

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Results are presented for laboratory studies of deformation characteristics of thawing soil for unidirectional and multidirectional thawing. Data from laboratory tests and hot plate tests were juxtaposed with the results of mathematical modeling using the Termoground program. Boundaries were established for changes to thaw and compressibility factors for different kinds of soil. Recommendations were given for the use of multidirectional thawing for laboratory determinations of soil deformation characteristics during engineering surveys.
