Some tests on the compactibility and hardness after compaction of different types of snow

Compaction of different types and mixtures of snow including snow collected from the natural snow cover and waste from an ice milling machine, was carried out in a cold room with a small model compactor. Density, cone hardness and shear strength were measured, generally 24 hours after compaction, fo...
