The main methods of frozen soil loosening are considered from the perspective of their effectiveness in transport‐related construction, and a new type of equipment is offered for earth‐moving in winter conditions.
Abstract. Maximum loads for a semi plane weakened by an aperture under uniform pressure were investigated for elaborating a mechanism for frozen ground destruction applying a recently designed loosener. Recommendations concerning the calculation of loosener productivity depending on the accepted technological scheme are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
