The subject of geomaterial interfaces recognizes the important influences of the interface behaviour on the performance of interfaces involving cementaceous materials such as concrete and steel, ice-structure interfaces, concrete-rock interfaces and interfaces encountered in soil reinforcement. During the past two decades, the subject of geomaterial interfaces has attracted the concerted attention of scientists and engineers both in geomechanics and applied mechanics. These efforts have been largely due to the observation that the conventional idealizations of the behaviour of interfaces between materials by frictionless contact, bonded contact, Coulomb friction or finite friction tend to omit many interesting and important influences of special relevance to geomaterials. The significant manner in which non-linear effects, dilatancy, contact degradation, hardening and softening, etc., can influence the behaviour of the interface is borne out by experimental evidence. As a result, in many instances, the response of the interface can be the governing criterion in the performance of a geomechanics problem.The primary objective of this volume is to provide a documentation of recent advances in the area of geomaterial interfaces. The volume consists of subject groupings which cover ice-structure, soil-structure and steel-concrete interfaces, mechanics of rock and concrete joints and interfaces in discrete systems.

Frozen Ground Engineering first introduces the reader to the frozen environment and the behavior of frozen soil as an engineering material. In subsequent chapters this information is used in the analysis and design of ground support systems, foundations, and embankments. These and other topics make this book suitable for use by civil engineering students in a one-semester course on frozen ground engineering at the senior or first-year-graduate level. Students are assumed to have a working knowledge of undergraduate mechanics (statics and mechanics of materials) and geotechnical engineering (usual two-course sequence). A knowledge of basic geology would be helpful but is not essential. This book will also be useful to advanced students in other disciplines and to engineers who desire an introduction to frozen ground engineering or references to selected technical publications in the field. BACKGROUND Frozen ground engineering has developed rapidly in the past several decades under the pressure of necessity. As practical problems involving frozen soils broadened in scope, the inadequacy of earlier methods for coping became increasingly apparent. The application of ground freezing to geotechnical projects throughout the world continues to grow as significant advances have been made in ground freezing technology. Freezing is a useful and versatile technique for temporary earth support, groundwater control in difficult soil or rock strata, and the formation of subsurface containment barriers suitable for use in groundwater remediation projects.

This study was conducted to provide reliable values of the stiffness and damping properties of frozen soils subjected to vibratory loads and to define the significant factors affecting these parameters. A laboratory test was conducted on prepared specimens of frozen soils wherein a right circular cylinder was subjected to steady-state sinusoidal vibration. The material was considered to be linearly viscoelastic. Analysis of test data based on one-dimensional wave propagation yielded the complex Young's modulus, the complex shear modulus, the phase velocity of wave propagation, the shear velocity, the damping property expressed as the angle representing time lag between stress and strain, an attenuation coefficient, and a complex Poisson's ratio. The frequency of vibration was varied from 500 to 10,000 Hz, and the peak dynamic stress was varied from 0.1 to 5.0 psi. Specimens were remolded or cored in-situ, frozen, and tested at temperatures of 0, +15 and +25 deg F.A few tests were conducted on identical soils nonfrozen. Tests results from a limited number of tests on selected soils indicate that the stiffness of these soils varies with the volume of ice/volume of soil ratio, and that ice is less stiff than saturated frozen soils. Frozen soils have stiffnesses up to 100 times those of identical soil nonfrozen. Depending upon the degree of ice saturation, the stiffness of non-saturated frozen soils varies from that of the saturated soils to nearly that of the nonfrozen soils. Stiffness increases with decreasing temperature but the rate is relatively low. As temperature rises and approaches the freezing point, stiffness abruptly decreases.
