Description
Summary:This dataset represents a range of geomechanical and geophysical properties of permafrost with different compositions under different testing conditions. The purpose is to identify and curate the permafrost properties that are critical for evaluating the performance of infrastructures commonly built in the high northern latitude regions. A total of 102035 data entries has been curated from 72 journal and conference publications. These publications were dated between 1958–2020. The main properties collected include elastic moduli, strength parameters, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, unfrozen water content, and hydraulic conductivity. Detailed descriptions of the soil compositions and soil tests are also included. ...
