Freeze-thaw cycling affects the geotechnical properties of soils and must be taken into account when selecting soil parameters for stability and deformation analysis of slopes, embankments and cuts in cold regions, especially those underlain
by permafrost. This review examines methods of investigation, testing techniques and the impact of freeze-thaw processes on the physical and mechanical properties of soils.

but both diurnal and seasonal freezing occur. Diurnal frost and thaw depths were determined from the field data and compared with the theoretical values calculated by the modified Berggren equation. The seasonal frost depth, which could not be directly
determined from the field data, was also estimated on the basis of the analysis of the diurnal freeze-thaw depths.

Evidence for freeze-thaw events and their implications for rock weathering in northern Canada : II. The temperature at which water freezes in rock

Data collected from northern Canada indicate that the temperature at which freezing occurs can vary substantially, even for the same site. The results indicate that any form of freeze-thaw event counting, in the absence of some indicator
of the presence of water and that it actually froze, is flawed, as thermal conditions alone are not adequate to indicate the occurrence or not of actual freeze-thaw weathering events. These data suggest that evaluations of freeze-thaw occurrence based simply

Fewer freeze-thaw cycles were recorded in the air than at 1 and 3.5 cm in the bedrock, between December 1983 and April 1984. The number of cycles that could be declared geomorphologically effective according to established temperature criteria
was normally less than half the total number of freeze - thaw cycles recorded in both air and bedrock. Under the current temperature regime at the field site, few effective cycles are capable of penetrating more than 5 cm into the free face.

Results of freeze-thaw simulations on three large blocks of quartz-micaschist are presented. Identification of three types of water to ice phase change from temperature and ultrasonic measurements. It is suggested that the type of phase change
results from a particular combination of rock moisture content, solute concentration, freeze amplitude, and rate of fall of temperature. The temperature at which ice thawed inside the rock (-0.7 to 1.9oC) was also found, and this indicates the possibility
of freeze-thaw effects without positive temperatures.

, laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate how freezing-thawing or wetting-drying cycles, under controlled conditions, affect structure and porosity. Data from wetting-drying cycles showed that changes in water content alone did not produce deep
structural modifications. A mechanism of alteration of soil sructure during freezing-thawing cycles is proposed.

-thaw erosion using weighted and additive methods, and realizes the relative classification of the freeze-thaw erosion in Tibet with the support of GIS software. Then a synthetic assessment of freeze-thaw erosion in Tibet has been carried out according

. Temperature data were collected at 1 min intervals for 1 year. These data provide unequivocal proof for the occurrence of the freezing and thawing of water on and within the rock (freeze-thaw events). It was found that the temperature at which freezing occured
varied significantly through the year. The change in freeze temperature is thought to be due to the chemical weathering of the material.

The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of variable freeze-thaw cycles and soil moisture conditions on aggregate stability of 3 soils (silt, structured clay loam-clay A and levelled silty clay loam-clay B), which are representative of 2
erosion prone areas in southeastern Norway. A second aim was to compare aggregate stabilities measured by the Norwegian standard procedure (rainfall simulator) and the more widely used wet-sieving procedure. Freezing and thawing decreased the rainfall

The AA. describe a new technique for the simulation of natural freezing-thawing cycles of the active layer in a permafrost microcosm. The core temperature, moisture and methane concentration and release in different depths of the microcosm can
be measured continuously under controlled freezing and thawing conditions. The simulation experiment provides an insight into the activity of microorganisms and turnover rates under various cryogenic conditions (i.e. frozen, partly frozen, unfrozen). The data

Open-system frost heave tests were performed on a silty clay using a lower boundary condition of +2°C and unidirectional freezing at -10°c from the surface, or freezing and thawing with an upper boundary temperature that cycled from -10°C to +10°C
or from -10°C to 0°C. The amont of frost heave, the distribution of moisture at the end of the experiment and the final dry density profiles all differed for the 3 cases. The experiments demonstrate that freeze-thaw history is important in assessing

The AA. quantitatively test the hypothesis that soil freeze-thaw (FT) processes significantly increase the potential for upland hillslope erosion during run-off events that follow thaw. They selected a highly frost-susceptible silt to obtain
an upper bound on FT effects, and completed 3 series of 6 experiments each to quantify differences in soil erosion and rill development in a bare soil following a single FT cycle. As both FT and C results were highly sensitive to initial conditions, minimum

The objective of this study was to measure the effects of one of the soil processes that affect rill geometry, soil freeze-thaw (FT) cycling. An unvegetated rectangular rill was subjected to 2 FT cycles, each lasting several days, in a controlled
laboratory setting. The FT cycling increased the water content and reduced the cohesion in the surface soil along the rill sufficiently to induce soil slumps and mud flows along the sidewalls of the rill. These mass failures changed the rectangular rill
