Describes phenomenon. Suggested methods of control involve lowering freezing point of soil water or restricting water flow through soil to freezing front.
The magnitude and variation of forces and shear stresses, caused by frost heaving in Fairbanks silt and the adfreeze effects of a surface ice layer and a gravel layer, were determined as a function of depth by using electric strain gauges along the upper 2.75 m of a pop pile, 30.5-cm I.D. x 0.95-cm wall, and an H-pile, 25.4-cm web x 85 kg/lineal m. The peak frost heaving forces on the H-pile for three consecutive winter seasons (1982-1985) were 752,790 and 802 kN, respectively. Peak frost heaving forces on the pipe pile of 1118 and 1115 kN were determined only for the second and third winter seasons. Maximum average shear stresses acting on the H-pile were 256,348 and 308 kPa during the thre...
For all soils and depths, frost heaving increased with bulk density.
Study to identify frost-susceptible soils. By using variables of bulk density, sand content and calcium, equation was constructed which accounted for 83% of total variation in heaving.
Frost Action in Soils: Fundamentals and Mitigation in a Changing Climate reviews and updates the state of knowledge on frost-action fundamentals, the impact of climate change, and mitigation of frost action on pavements and other structures.
Examines the state of current knowledge concerning ice segregation and frost heaving and identifies areas of particular significance and concern where further research is needed.
