Assessment of the Tube Suction Test for Identifying Non-Frost-Susceptible Soils Stabilized with Cement
Frost heave is a primary mechanism of pavement distress in cold regions. The distress exhibited is dependent on the frost susceptibility of the soil within the depth of frost penetration, the availability of subsurface water, and the duration of freezing surface temperatures. Cement stabilization …

Experimental investigation of soil volume changes during freezing and thawing
… soils during freezing and thawing, with focus on frost heave and thaw settlement. Ground freezing is a natural phenomenon that affects civil engineering projects, especially in cold regions or where artificial ground freezing (AGF) is employed. Freezing causes water in the soil pores to turn into …

Design and Construction of Pavements in Cold Regions: State of the Practice
The effects of frost action introduce many challenges in the design and construction of roadways in cold regions throughout the United States. The penetration of frost into pavement structures can lead to differential frost heave during winter and thaw weakening during spring. Both of these damage …
