Experimental Study on Frost-Heaving Force Development of Tibetan Clay Subjected to One-Directional Freezing in an Open System by Pengfei He, Meng Xiong, Yanhu Mu, Jianhua Dong, Xinlei Na

“…In this paper, a series of one-directional freezing experiments were implemented for the Tibetan clay with rigid restraint in an open system. The varying characteristics of the temperature, frost-heaving force, and water replenishment during the freezing process were analyzed under different freezing temperatures (−5, −7, and − 9°C), dry densities (1.65, 1.7, and 1.75 g cm−3), and initial moisture contents (11, 14, and 17%) of the soil samples. …”

Statistical Peculiar Features of Surface Cracking on Flat Clay Samples of Plastic Moulding when Heated by Heat Flow by I. K. Ivanovsky

“…Results of 240 time determinations pertaining to investigation of surface cracking initiation on flat samples of moulding mass (80% of the Lukoml clay + 20% of granite screenings) of various thickness (1 ...4 cm) while being heated with intensive heat flow (~ 1 W/cm2) are given and analyzed in the paper.It has been shown that under such heating conditions thickness of a sample practically does not make any effect on cracking intensity. …”
