Overview

A reference text which addresses construction problems in relation to the behaviour of frozen soil as an engineering material. Aimed at senior-level students in civil engineering, the text provides many fully-worked example problems throughout. An instructor's manual is available also. Topics covered include: mechanical properties of frozen soil including stress-strain-time (creep) behaviour; analytical representation of creep and strength data; compressibility of confined soil layers and elastic behaviour and consolidation of warm frozen soils; slope stabilization, permafrost, and new slopes in frozen soil; and engineering design problems relating to construction ground freezing. This book should be of interest to civil engineers and students; geotechnical engineers; and geologists.
