Abstract

Between 1963 and 1965, a frost heave experimental station was operated on the floodplain of the Selbe‐Gol River near Ulaanbaatar. During this time the first reliable data on frost heaving in Mongolia were obtained. The amount of heaving measured in light loamy sand was 7–13 mm/a while in loamy soil it was 22–25 mm/a. In northern Mongolia various types of frost mounds occur. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Entre 1963 et 1965, une station expérimentale d'étude du soulèvement du sol par le gel a fonctionné dans la plaine alluviale de la rivière Selbe‐Gol près de Ulaanbaatar. Pendant cette période, furent obtenues les premières données fiables de Mongolie à ce sujet. Le total de soulèvement mesuré dans des sables légèrement limoneux a été de 7–13 mm par an, tandis que dans un sol limoneux la valeur a été de 22–25 mm par an. Dans le nord de la Mongolie existent différents types de buttes cryogènes. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
