Title: THE SOIL FREEZING EXPERIMENT
Accession Number: 00237492
Record Type: Component
Abstract: A DISCUSSION IS PRESENTED OF FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND THEORIES AS A BASIS FOR FROST ACTION RESEARCH, PARTICULARLY WITH REFERENCE TO THE PHENOMENON OF THE UPWARD FLOW OF MOISTURE IN SOIL IN THE SOIL FREEZING EXPERIMENT. A PILOT SOIL FREEZING EXPERIMENT RELATIVE TO SUCTION MEASUREMENT IS DESCRIBED AND ITS RESULTS PRESENTED. THE IMPROVISED APPARATUS USED IN THE FREEZING EXPERIMENT DEMONSTRATES VIVIDLY WHERE AND HOW THE GROUND-WATER IS TRANSFERRED AND CONVINCES ONE THAT UPON FREEZING OF THE SOIL SAMPLE THE GROUND-WATER IS SUCKED UP VERTICALLY INTO THE SOIL. SUBPRESSURE OR SUCTION VALUES, AS OBTAINED ANALYTICALLY BY MEANS OF THE HYDRODYNAMIC AND THERMODYNAMIC THEORIES, ARE COMPARED WITH THOSE OBTAINED EXPERIMENTALLY. ALTHOUGH MUCH RESEARCH WORK IS STILL TO BE DONE ALONG THESE LINES, IT IS HOPED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PRESENTATION WILL PARTIALLY FILL THE EXISTING GAP IN THE PRESENT LITERATURE WITH RESPECT TO METHODOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION AND HELP TO ARRANGE THIS SUBJECT INTO A DISCIPLINE SUPPORTED ON A THEORETICAL BASIS. /AUTHOR/
