Main publication details
MARC recordIn-situ tensile tests of snow-pack layers / James Bruce Jamieson, C.D. Johnston.
| Title: | In-situ tensile tests of snow-pack layers / James Bruce Jamieson, C.D. Johnston. |
| Author(s): | Jamieson, James Bruce. Johnston, C. D. |
| Date: | 1990. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1990.), Vol. 36(122) (1990) |
| Abstract: | During winter 1987-88, seven tensile tests were made for each of 66 snow layers in Rocky Mountains of western Canada. Snow with faceted microstructure was half as strong as partly settled or rounded snow of same density. Notch sensitivity in strength data and critical strains of 1% or less indicate that test fractures were essentially brittle. |
| Notes: | Journal of Glaciology. Vol. 36(122) :102-106 (1990). |
| Keywords: | 551.578.46 -- Snow cover and snow patches. 539.42 -- Ice, tensile strength. E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches. (*41) -- Canada. (*428) -- Alberta. |
