Effects of Temperature on Volumetric Behavior of Soil Subjected to Freezing-Thawing Cycles
This paper presents an experimental investigation related to the effect of freezing-thawing (F-T) cycles on the volumetric behavior of soils, with particular focus on the impact of the range of freezing temperatures on soils’ response impact. A reconstituted specimen made up from a commercial silt was subjected to F-T cycles in an 1D cell manufactured in a 3D-printer. The soil specimen was fully saturated, and the test was conducted under open system conditions inside an environmental chamber. Volume changes were recorded using a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) during cyclic F-T. The test results show that the impact of the range of the freezing temperature is only relevant in the higher range of freezing temperatures (i.e., near the freezing point), and it tends to reduce significantly as the minimum temperature reduces. The study also shows that stress-history of the soil has a significant influence on the volumetric behavior soils subjected to F-T cycles.
