Glacimarine processes and inductive lithofacies modelling of ice shelf and tidewater glacier sediments based on quaternary examples
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used information from Holocene sediment and Pleistocene glacimarine sequences with the eight inductive regimes to predict and modelled the lithofacies relationships.

Downward water movement into frozen ground, western arctic coast, Canada
TL;DR: In this article, field studies carried out mainly since 1975 in permafrost areas of Alaska, Canada, China, and the Soviet Union have been combined with the results of laboratory investigations to show that in summe...

Discussion of the applicability of the generalized Clausius–Clapeyron equation and the frozen fringe process
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of the generalized Clausius-Clapeyron equation (GCCE) for describing the phase change process between ice and water, and specific applicability conditions for the GCCE during soil freezing are proposed.

Typical embankment settlement/heave patterns of the Qinghai–Tibet highway in permafrost regions: Formation and evolution
Fan Yu,Jilin Qi,Yuanming Lai,Yuanming Lai,Nallathamby Sivasithamparam,Xiaoliang Yao,Mingyi Zhang,Yongzhi Liu,Guilong Wu +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed four typical settlement/heave patterns of road embankments in permafrost regions, namely "steady-low rate", "fluctuate", "down step", and "steady-high rate".

Effect of Freezing and Thawing on the Permeability and Structure of Soils
TL;DR: Chamberlain et al. as discussed by the authors found that freezing and thawing caused a reduction in void ratio and an increase in vertical permeability of four fine-grained soils, attributed to the formation of polygonal shrinkage cracks and/or to the reduction of the volume of fines in the pores of the coarse fraction.

One-dimensional Consolidation of Thawing Soils
N. R. Morgenstern,J. F. Nixon +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physics of consolidation of a thawing soil is formulated in terms of the well-known theories of heat conduction and of linear consolidation of compressible soil.

The Residual Stress in Thawing Soils
J. F. Nixon,N. R. Morgenstern +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the residual stress is defined as an effective stress in the soil skeleton when a fine-grained soil is thawed under undrained conditions, and it is termed residual stress.

Design of Tunnel Support Systems using Ground Freezing
John S. Jones,Ralph E. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Jones et al. described the general design considerations involved in the ground freezing method and discussed the time required to achieve freezing in addition to the amount and rate of frost heave caused by the freezing.
Frost susceptibility of massachusetts soils-evaluation of raid frost susceptibility tests
R T Martin,Aez Wissa +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two promising approaches to the development of a rapid laboratory procedure for evaluation of frost susceptibility of soils are investigated in detail, and the heave pressure method is recommended.
