Freezing Pressurized Water into a Standard Cylindrical Ice Sample in a Triaxial Cell by Baosheng Wang, Peixin Sun, Tingting Luo, Tao Zhang, Weihao Yang

“…In order to deal with the lateral surface irregular of the resulting ice sample caused by freezing expansion, we proposed a pressurization method in which the volume of the confining medium is controlled to restrict the radial deformation of the sample, and the axial pressure on the sample is kept constant; thus, the freezing expansion will develop along the height direction through releasing the expansion pressure. …”
