Modeling weak snow layer fracture in propagation saw test using an ice column model

Fracture initiation and propagation in a weak snow layer are two primary processes of the slab avalanche formation process. This study proposes a model for the weak snow layer and investigates the fracture propagation process. The weak snow layer is conceptualized as columns of ice sandwiched betwee...
