Main characteristics of saline frozen soils.

Summary

Analysis of the various physical and physico-chemical study results has led to put in the forefront four most important distinguishing features of saline frozen soils: critical initial concentration of the saturating pore solution, phase composition peculiarities, specificity of the spatial crystalline-coagulant cryogenic structure, and freezing kinetics particularities. All these features are described and discussed.
