Hello, iam Lauren Thurman, Hope you’re doing well!

How Does Freezing And Thawing Contribute To Creep? [Solved]

Creep can be facilitated by freezing and thawing because, as shown in Figure 15.12, particles are lifted perpendicular to the surface by the growth of ice crystals within the soil, and then let down vertically by gravity when the ice melts. The same effect can be produced by frequent wetting and drying of the soil.
