Abstract
The distinctive features of the development of acoustic emission (AE) during freezing and thawing of soils with different grain distribution s and moisture contents are studied. The AE activity has been found to depend on the level of water saturation, the type of soil, and the te mperature gradient. It is demonstrated that the beginning of the destr uction of the hard-frozen structure can be detected on the basis of th e emission data and information about the degree to which the soil hea ved.
