Influence of depth of frost penetration on frost susceptibility of soils

Osler, J.C.

Research on heaving pressures associated with formation of ice lenses in soils indicates that magnitude of heaving pressure in silt soils is governed by geometry of ice-water interface; this geometry involves double curvature of ice front, into voids and around adjacent particles, and thus depends on both particle and pore size distribution; theory for predicting frost heaving pressures, which takes into account geometry of ice-water interface, is described and it predicts greater heaving pressures for decreasing particle and pore sizes; supporting experimental results are given.
