摘要
Uniaxial compressive strength tests were conducted on the saturated frozen Lanzhou silt(loess)at various constant strain rates and at various constant temperatures. It is concluded from the test resultsthat: the compressive strength (бf) is very sensitive to temperature(θ) and increases with the tempera-ture decreasing as a power law. Compressive strength is sensitive to strain rate (ε) and increases withstrain rates increasing within a certain range of strain rates as a power law. Compressive strength decrea-ses when time to failure(t_f) increases, also following a power law. Finally, Compressive strength of fro-zen silt with higher dry density ( γd,) is I1igher than that of frozen silt with lower drydensity. The differ-ence between them is mainly influenced by strain rate.
