Properties and Behaviour of Freezing Soils

The characteristics behaviour and properties of frozen soils arise because ice and water coexist under the condtiions imposed by the porous structure of the soil. The results of an investigation into the relative amounts of ice and water in frozen soils led to a series of related studies, described in the present volume, each of which was suggested by the conclusions arising from the preceding one.Des questions li\ue9es aux caract\ue9ristiques, au comportement et aux propri\ue9t\ue9s des sols gel\ue9s sont soulev\ue9es car la glace et l?eau coexistent dans des conditions qui sont impos\ue9es par la structure poreuse du sol. Les r\ue9sultats d?une investigation portant sur les quantit\ue9s relatives de glace et d?eau dans les sols gel\ue9s ont engendr\ue9 une s\ue9rie d?\ue9tudes connexes, d\ue9crites dans le pr\ue9sent volume et dont chacune a \ue9t\ue9 sugg\ue9r\ue9e par les conclusions d\ue9coulant de celle qui la pr\ue9c\ue9dait.Peer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
