Aspects of ice lens growth in soils
Growth characteristics of individual ice lenses in natural soils have been studied in the laboratory using ramped temperature control. The growth rate rises rapidly after ice lens initiation and this is followed by a protracted period of decreasing growth. The temperature at the growing face of the...

Summary: | Growth characteristics of individual ice lenses in natural soils have been studied in the laboratory using ramped temperature control. The growth rate rises rapidly after ice lens initiation and this is followed by a protracted period of decreasing growth. The temperature at the growing face of the lens decreases continuously during its formation. Les caractéristiques de croissance de différentes lentilles de glace se trouvant dans des sols naturels ont été étudiées en laboratoire par la méthode du contrôle de température par échelons. Le rythme de croissance augmente rapidement après l'apparition des lentilles de glace, puis il décroît pendant une longue période. La température à l'interface de croissance des lentilles décroît continuellement pendant la formation de celle-ci. Peer reviewed: Yes NRC publication: Yes |
