A Method for Calculating the Amount of Unfrozen Water in Frozen Saline Soils
摘要
The degree of salinity, the freezing point, and the amount of unfrozen water are key factors in predicting the temperature, humidity, and mechanical behavior of saline permafrost soils used in construction as foundations for buildings. The results of the experimental studies are presented and a method for calculation of the amount of unfrozen water in saline soils is proposed. The calculated and experimental data show good convergence for both sandy and clay soils of different salinity and water content.
