The effect of soil salinity and the organic matter content on the thermal properties and unfrozen water content of frozen soils at the west coast of Baydarata Bay

Abstract

This paper reports on laboratory results on the composition, structure, and properties of frozen and thawed soils on the western coast of the Baydaratata Bay. Experimental data that focus on the unfrozen water content and thermal properties of different soils are discussed and summarized. This effects of soil salinity and organic matter content on these properties were evaluated for frozen and thawed soils.
