A review on the development of the methods of ice and ice-soil reinforcement

The need to bring different building materials to the remote cold regions makes construction in these regions more difficult and rather expensive. The need to have such materials can be reduced by the use of both ice and ice-soil composites. This paper provides a description of various methods of reinforcement and creation of the composites of that kind. The classification of the various methods of ice(-soil) reinforcement and the results of studying the ice strengthened by disperse and fibrous reinforcement are presented. The analytical relationships for determining the strength of the ice reinforced with short length fibres are derived. Also the method of ice-soil reinforcement with cryotropic gel formation is described. The tests show that the shear strength and permeability properties of ice-soil composites created by the method of cryotropic gel formation are rather high even after thawing.
