Description
Fulong Ma and co-authors model the slow deformation of warm, ice-rich frozen sand in a 2026 study. Frozen ground under roads and pipelines creeps over time, and warm ice-rich soils flow most. Predicting that creep needs tests on realistic samples and a model that respects the soil's mix.
The team devised a way to prepare ice-rich specimens, then ran compression creep tests at two ice contents. Saturated and very icy sands crept quite differently. Their model blends soil skeleton, ice, and unfrozen water, with ice-cement bonds that break progressively. It matched the tests across ice contents and stress levels, a tool for cold-region engineering.
