Abstract
A previous study on the influence of overconsolidation on the freezing characteristics of a clayey silt suggested that the capillary unfrozen water between clay increases, allowing the migratory water to freeze within the frozen soil at a lower temperature. This paper describes an investigation where the unfrozen water content of a saturated clayey silt consolidated to two void ratios was determined using a differential scanning calorimeter. These results supported the former view since the amount of nonfreezable water in the densest specimen was three times higher than that of the sample with the largest voids.
