Abstract

This report describes research aimed at: (a) determining the effect of composition of soil fines on the frost susceptibility of the soil, and (b) finding admixtures which can in trace amounts reduce the frost susceptibility of soil. Freezing tests were run on a clean sand to which various monomineral fines had been added. The data, which in most cases are explained in terms of the mineral structure, show that the composition of soil fines has a tremendous influence on the frost behavior of the soil. The nature of the exchangeable ion has a pronounced effect on the frost-heave-producing ability of montmorillonoid fines.
