On the functional dependence of the freezing point of soils on the composition of water soluble salts in an interstitial solution
Abstract
The fundamental factors influencing the temperature at the freezing point of saline soils were determined. The freezing point of soils is the boundary of change of physical state; the transition is from thawed to frozen state and is the beginning of the phase transitions of the interstitial solution. The freezing point is dependent on many factors especially in the case of saline soils, the quantitative and qualitative composition of readily soluble salts and is determined by experimental means. Experiments were conducted with soils from the Arctic coast which were of differing granulometric composition which differ in minerals and salt composition. The soils were of marine origin.
