A Technique for Measurement of Swelling Pressures of Montmorillonite under Depressed Temperatures (Some Shearing Characteristics of Frozen Soil), Part 2
Abstract
A general study of frozen soil characteristics with specific reference to interparticle action under depressed temperatures is presented. The behaviour of clay-water systems subjected to depressed temperatures and involving electro chemical forces of interaction is evaluated. This report concerns itself with the development of the Gouy-Chapman theory as applied to soils, taking into consideration the effect of temperature and its influence on the dielectric constant; the instrumentation and procedure for measurement of the resultant swelling pressure which have been designed specifically for this study is reported.
