| Abstract: | Based on an analysis performed by Meyerhof and on field data obtained in two snow covers, a method for estimating the bearing capacity of an ice layer in a snow cover is proposed. A procedure for characterizing the pressure-sinkage relationship of a snow cover containing an ice layer is suggested. The objective is to provide an improved characterization of the behaviour of snow-covered terrain for the prediction of vehicle mobility. |
