✦ Synopsis

In his introductory lecture, Hans Jessberger points out the necessity of considering specifically the influence of time and temperature in the determination and definition of the stress/strain properties of frozen soils. This turned out to be the main point, also, in the presentation and di~ cussion of the majority of the papers of this session. .1

Logically, therefore, this resum~ will be focussed on some vital items, namely: --Influence of stress and rate of strain on the strength and moduli of deformation (creep tests and CRS tests).
