The paper describes a new field testing method, called the sharp cone test, intended for in situ determination of creep properties of frozen soils and ice. The method consists of pushing a smooth, low-angle, cone into a predrilled conical portion of a borehole. The creep properties of the material are determined by applying a constant axial load on the cone, and by observing its time-dependent axial displacement as it penetrates and enlarges the conical hole. The paper describes the test, gives its theoretical interpretation, and shows the results of a series of tests carried out in a frozen sand. Key words : frozen soil, ice, sharp cone, field testing, creep properties.

The paper presents two methods for in situ testing of strength and creep properties of ice, together with their theoretical interpretation and typical results. The two methods which are relatively new in this area of application, are the stress-controlled cone penetration test (CPT), and the sharp cone test (SCT). The CPT has been shown in the last few years to be an excellent tool for both ice quality profiling and ice creep and strength properties determination. The test can be used for penetrating vertically through an ice sheet, or laterally into an ice wall in a trench. The SCT is a special kind of borehole-expansion test. The method consists in pushing a smooth, low-angle, conical indentor into a predrilled conical portion of a borehole, which ends with a smaller diameter pilot hole. The creep properties of ice are then deduced from the relationship between the applied load, time, and cone penetration, which is directly related to the hole expansion. Key words: ice, creep, strength, in situ testing, cone penetration, borehole expansion, sharp cone.

Plain and reinforced frozen sand beams were loaded incrementally in pure bending at −6 and −10 °C. For plain beams, the deflection rate (during secondary creep) showed a linear relationship with applied load on a log–log scale while experimental results of beams reinforced with a single 4.76 mm diameter steel bar showed a bilinear relationship. The observed deflection behavior was a result of the combined effects of soil creep in tension, compression, and adfreeze bond at the reinforcement/frozen soil interface.To analyze the flexural behavior of frozen soil, one-dimensional finite elements with different creep properties in tension and in compression were used in conjuction with the power creep law or the hyperbolic sine creep law. For the secondary creep condition and the power creep law, analytical solutions for frozen soil beam behavior are presented. Numerical results indicate reasonable agreement with experimental results. Key words: adfreeze bond, creep properties, flexural strength, frozen soils, reinforced earth.
