The Effects of Soluble Salts on the Unfrozen Water Contents of the Lanzhou, P.R.C. (People's Republic of China) Silt
Phase composition curves are presented for a typical saline silt from Lanzhou, P.R.C., and compared to some silts from Alaska. The unfrozen water content of the Chinese silt is much higher than that of the Alaskan silts due to the large amount of soluble salts present in the silts form China, which...
