Abstract
Predicting erosion from previously frozen and thawing soils has been a problem for decades. To study the effect of freezing and thawing on erodibility, a tilting flume with a radiative freezing apparatus was designed and constructed. The test bed of the flume was designed to allow a soil mass to be frozen and thawed from the surface under controlled soil moisture tension. Loose soil placed in the test bed was consolidated by cyclical increase and decrease of soil moisture tension.
