Title:

SOIL SUCTION EFFECTS ON PARTIAL SOIL FREEZING

Accession Number:

00237192

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

THE TOTAL EFFECTS OF PARTICLE INTERACTION OF THE SOIL- WATER SYSTEM IS MEASURED AND DESCRIBED IN TERMS OF SOIL SUCTION OR MOISTURE POTENTIAL SOIL SUCTION MEASUREMENTS ARE PRESENTED AND RELATED TO THE PARTIAL FREEZING PHENOMENON OF THREE SOIL TYPES, A KAOLINITIC CLAY, A MEDIUM FELDSPAR QUARTZ CLAY, AND A SILT. OVER THE TEMPERATURE RANGE 0C TO MINUS/6C IT WAS SHOWN THAT THE QUANTITY OF WATER REMAINING UNFROZEN MAY BE RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE SOIL SUCTION PARAMETER. A SIMPLIFIED PRESSURE-MEMBRANE TECHNIQUE FOR SOIL SUCTION MEASUREMENTS IS PRESENTED WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR ROUTINE SOIL SUCTION DETERMINATIONS.
