Study of freezing phenomena in some arctic soils.
The limitations of the presently available techniques concerning the prediction of frost effects were pointed out. A freezing apparatus was designed and constructed to conduct laboratory freezing tests on Arctic soils. The experimental observations did not agree with predictions based on the current...
