Creep of model piles in frozen soil

Preliminary results of laboratory studies on the behaviour of model piles of wood, concrete, and steel, having different surface finishes, embedded in artificially frozen sand and subject to constant loads, are reported in this paper. The displacement rate gamma was found to vary with the applied st...
