Abstract:Principal stresses in a snow cover on a uniform slope were determined by two methods, each using thin pressure gauges to measure snow pressure in the snow. These snow pressures were principal stress σ2 on a vertical plane perpendicular to the contour lines and normal compressive stress σ θ on a plane perpendicular to the vertical plane. In addition, plastic Poisson’s ratio v was estimated in a snow cover on level ground. Estimates of principal strain rates were used to calculate principal stresses and viscosi… Show more
