Record #93916:

The interconnection of wetting and drying with freeze-thaw: some new data / Kevin Hall.

Title: The interconnection of wetting and drying with freeze-thaw: some new data / Kevin Hall.
Author(s): Hall, Kevin.
Date: 1988.
Abstract: During attempt to find method of monitoring moisture gradients within rocks using non-destructive ultrasonic techniques, evidence was obtained regarding changes within rock due to absorption and desorption of water; specifically, that wetting before freezing may weaken rocks. In addition, because of hysteresis, rocks will experience strength reduction and possibly failure, resulting from wetting and drying alone.
Notes:

Offprint: Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie. Supplementband. Vol. 71 :1-11.

Issue devoted to papers on theme "Comparative studies of active, inactive and Pleistocene periglacial phenomena" presented at 12th INQUA Congress in Ottawa, Canada, 31 July-9 August 1987.

Keywords: 551.342 -- Frost shattering.
E8 -- Glaciology: frost action and permafrost.
Location(s): SCO: SPRI-SHF: 551.343
