Historical Perspectives in Frost Heave Research The Early Works of S. Taber and G. Beskow

摘要

Since then, there has been periodic interest in attempting to understand die principles underlying moisture movement in freezing soil. Much of that work appears to be an ex¬tension or duplication of Beskow's and Taber's original work. With that in mind, these papers and monograph are presented together for the benefit of those working or starting to work on the mechanics of frost heave.nIn the interests of creating a uniform document, the text of Taber's and Beskow's papers was re¬typed and this report was produced on CRREL's electronic duce these papers exactly without introducing new errors, a perhaps impossible task. Some minor styl¬istic changes were made during the process of retyping and reformatting, but, on the whole, these works are as they were when they were originally published.
