Resistivity and unfrozen water content of moraine soil at freezing temperatures: experiments and thermodynamic modeling
The unfrozen water content at different freezing temperatures is the main parameter that characterizing the electrical resistivity properties during soil freezing. This study focuses on moraine soil from the Galongla Glacier in southeastern Tibet, utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology and an LCR digital bridge tester to examine the intricate relationships between resistivity, unfrozen water, and freezing temperature under varying moisture and fine particle contents. The freezing points of pore water in moraines and the moisture characteristic threshold were also determined. A theoretical model of unfrozen water and resistivity was proposed in conjunction with the ternary conductivity theory, and the electrical conduction mechanism of moraine soil during freezing was revealed. The results showed that the resistivity of moraine soil exhibited a negative exponential correlation with moisture content and increase as the freezing temperature decreased. Under identical temperature conditions, moisture content has a more significant influence on resistivity than fine particle content. During the freezing process, the unfrozen water of moraine soil was observed to progress through three distinct phases, including slow decline, rapid decline, and stabilization. The freezing point of bulk water in moraine soil ranged from 0 to −2 °C, that of capillary water ranged from −2 to −4 °C, while that of loosely bound water ranged from −4 °C to −6 °C, according to which the two T2 thresholds were identified to quantitatively differentiate between the types of pore water in moraine soil. By considering the internal circuit principles of moraine soil at different freezing states, a theoretical model for resistivity and unfrozen water content under negative temperature conditions was developed and verified for reliability. This study provides a scientific basis for revealing the hydrothermal effects and catastrophic mechanisms of moraine roadbeds in cold regions.
期刊介绍:
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.
Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.
Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
