A method for analyzing the viscosity coefficient using spherical press test data is proposed, based on the use of rheological curves. Viscosity is determined for different types of soil in the frozen and thawed states. A significant reduction (by two orders of magnitude) is achieved for the viscosity coefficient after thawing and compaction.
