Consolidation of Permafrost upon Thawing

by Frederick E. Crory, US Army Cold Regions Research &, Engineering Lab, Hanover, NH, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Sedimentation Consolidation Models?Predictions and Validation

Abstract:

Methods of predicting initial consolidation upon thawing and the subsequent consolidation with time under increasing pressures are presented in terms of changes in unit weight. Procedures for conducting one-dimensional consolidation tests on originally frozen specimens are described and analysis of laboratory tests with respect to total and differential settlement are discussed.
