Abstract

The dependence of the strength of the adhesive bond of soils frozen to foundation materials over a broad range of negative temperatures on the structure, properties, and character of failure of their contact zone is examined on the basis of our data and data obtained by other researchers. The study was performed with financial support from the Russian Fund for Fundamental Research, Russian Academy of Sciences (Project No. 96-05-65774).
