Experimental determination of the parameters of the methodology for investigating the frost strength bond of soil and foundation material

Introduction. Freezing strength is a strength characteristic of frozen soils that describes their mechanical interaction with underground structures of buildings and structures. This characteristic is used in determining the bearing capacity of piles located in the zone of permafrost, and in assessi...

This characteristic is used in determining the bearing capacity of piles located in the zone of permafrost, and in assessing the pull-out effect of the tangential forces of frost heaving of seasonally frozen soils.
