DEVELOPMENT OF CORRELATIONS FOR SOIL THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY by
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soil thermal conductivity is significantly influenced by saturation and dry density. In this paper, a family of empirical correlations are presented which relate soil thermal conductivity to saturation for five soil types, namely, gravel, sand, silt, clay and peat, in both the frozen and unfrozen states. These correlations were developed from a soil thermal conductivity database which was constructed from measured data available in the literature. The effects of dry density are also examined.
