The free water content of snow has been used in over-snow vehicle mobility studies only in a documentary manner. The free water content of snow is indicated by the terms dry, moist, wet, very wet, or slush. Throughout the range of conditions, the variation of free water obviously has a significant effect of the snow strength parameters used in vehicle performance evaluation. During a testing program this past winter (1983-1984) at the Keweenaw Research Center, which involved vehicles attempting to negotiate snow obstacles, free water content was measured and included as snow characterization data along with density, grain size, and snow temperature. Of particular interest to this paper was the difference in test results of two snow obstacles having the same classification of the two types of snow used to form the obstacles was measured, by calorimetry, to be 16% and 26%.
For everything from applications of particle energy field theory to landslide prevention and desert water supply, Introduction to Environmental Geotechnology provides a complete picture of the fascinating and rapidly growing field of environmental geotechnology. Unique in scope, this new book covers the full interdisciplinary spectrum of the discipline, including soil science, physical chemistry, mineralogy, geology, ground pollution, and others. This is the first book to incorporate and summarize the discipline for students, teachers, and practitioners. It is a complete text on applied soil engineering, broadly covering:
