Abstract
Soil strength depends on the state of the ground as well as soil type. We have developed both a 1-D and pseudo 3-D SVAT (Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Transfer) model, FASST (Fast All-season Soil Strength). FASST predicts soil temperature, moisture, ice content and strength as a function of depth as well as snow accumulation/depletion and surface icing. We implemented a series of parametric tests with the 1-D model to develop the understanding necessary to predict soil strength as a function of soil type, soil hydraulic properties and strength parameterization.
