Abstract
The adfreeze strength developed during freezing of cylindrical piles to fine Ottawa sand mixed with 14% by weight of water was measured under constant rates of pile displacement on an Instron testing machine and under constant load [in a creep equipment]. Four types of pile were studied: natural B.C. fir, concrete, steel coated with a red oxide primer, and creosoted B.C. fir. Constant rate tests showed that adfreeze strength increased with increasing load rate. Preliminary data from the constant load creep tests indicate that the load dependence of the steady-state creep rate for piles in frozen sand agrees with the displacement rate dependence of the adfreeze strengths determined by extrapolation of the results of the constant rate tests. In general, maximum adfreeze strength developed with natural B.C. fir, and the minimum with creosoted B.C. fir.
