Abstract
The results of determining acoustic and electrical properties of frozen saline soils (sand and silt) of massive cryogenic texture at different water content (3 values for each type of soil), salinity (7 values for silt and 5 for sand) and temperatures (–2, –4, –6 ᵒC) are given in the article. As a result, data on the high correlation between specific electrical resistivity and concentration of the pore solution and between ratio of a concentration of the pore solution to temperature and the velocity of longitudinal waves were obtained. Electrical resistivity can decrease by 2–22 times during the transition from a low-saline to a highly saline state and for longitudinal wave velocities only two times. Therefore, it is the electrical properties that are most suitable for the ranking of soils by the degree of salinity.
