The strength of snow in compression
The hardness observations taken in the Canadian Snow Survey are analysed and found to depend on snow density, temperature, and crystal size. This strength property of the snow is found to be highly variable and the variability is attributed to unstable bonding between individual snow grains. L'...

| Summary: | The hardness observations taken in the Canadian Snow Survey are analysed and found to depend on snow density, temperature, and crystal size. This strength property of the snow is found to be highly variable and the variability is attributed to unstable bonding between individual snow grains. L'analyse des caractéristiques de dureté relevées au cours du Programme d'études canadien sur la neige montre qu'elles dépendent de la densité de la neige, de la température, et de la dimension des cristaux. On a constaté que cette propriété résistive de la neige est très variable. Cette variabilité serait due à une liaison instable entre les grains de neige. Peer reviewed: Yes NRC publication: Yes |
