FROST HEAVE AND THE RAPID HEAVE TEST

J H Zoller

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

A rapid test to measure the frost susceptibility of materials for use in sub-base and base courses of pavements is described. A frost susceptibility classification, based on the heave rate of the tested materials, is presented. The mechanics of frost heave and parameters affecting frost heave of soil materials are discussed. Use of the test to select nonfrost-susceptible materials for sub-base and base courses should reduce pavement maintenance costs.
