RELATION BETWEEN THE SUPERCOOLING AND CRYSTALLIZATION TEMPERATURES OF MOIST SOIL AND ITS STRENGTH IN THE FROZEN STATE

The laws of phase transformations of water in disperse materials are discussed using soil as the example. The dependence of the supercooling and crystallization temperatures of the soil moisture on the determining factors has been considered. The relation between the supercooling and crystallization temperatures of the freezing soil and the strength of the soil in the frozen state has been shown. A quantitative assessment of this strength has been made.
