Instructions for Determining Relative Compression in Frozen Ground Thawing under Pressure.

The report presents a method for computing the relative compression of both permanently frozen and thawed water-saturated ground lying under foundations, based on its physical characteristics. The method does not involve field tests using test loads, or laboratory studies with compression apparatus....

Description
Summary:The report presents a method for computing the relative compression of both permanently frozen and thawed water-saturated ground lying under foundations, based on its physical characteristics. The method does not involve field tests using test loads, or laboratory studies with compression apparatus. Brief practical directions are given for the selection of frozen ground samples and for determining volumetric skeletal weight, also, for calculating terminal settling of the foundations of buildings and installations.
