Determination of the Deformation Characteristics of Thawing Soils by the Triaxial Compression Method

Аннотация

A procedure for performing experiments in the presence of different axial and volumetric stress combinations corresponding to the action of thawing base soils is proposed for triaxial testing of thawing frozen soils during thawing. Comparison of the deformation characteristics obtained for thawing sandy soils in field tests performed with a hot stamp and under triaxial compression showed that the thawing coefficient differs by no more than 5% and the compressibility coefficient by 30%.
