Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Frost susceptibility of soil is important parameter in construction of buildings in silt (clay) soil and cold regions.Therefore experimental investigation of frost susceptibility has high importance.Definition of frost characteristics soil predicts unsuspectible deformations of soil ground.Also extra measures could be predicted for lowering frost susceptibility.In-situ monitoring of frost depth is measure which also important for designing of soil ground.Frost depth monitoring system gives freezing depth results and moisture content for prediction of frost susceptibility of soil.
