Water flow induced by soil freezing

• Author / Creator

  Arvidson, Wayne Douglas.

• Masters thesis resulting from an experimental study to determine the freezing behavior of Ottawa sand and a locally occurring silt. Results indicated that freezing behaviour of a soil can be predicted by short term freezing tests in which heave and net change in sample porewater volume or porewater pressure were measured.
