>ng. For increases of moisture content exceeding about 6 to 12 percent, the conduc tivity of frozen soil becomes progressively greater than that of the unfrozen soil.
Effect of Density. Density affects the thermal conductivity of a soil in about the same manner for all soils, at any moisture content, and for either the frozen or un frozen condition. On the average, each one pound per cubic foot increase in dry density increases the thermal conductivity by about 3 percent.
Effect of Moisture. An increase in moisture content, up to the point of saturation, causes an increase.in thermal conductivity. The rate of increase is indicated by the following values. Average conductivities, in Btu per (square foot) (hour) (Fahren heit degree per inch), of four sands at a density of 110 lb per.cu ft were: 6.8 at 2.5 percent moisture, 8.9 at 5 percent moisture, 11.2 at 10 percent moisture. Five soils of a fine texture at a density of 100 lb per cu ft, gave average conductivities of 6.7 at.10 percent moisture, and 9.5 at 20 percent. Thus, the doubling of moisture con-
