FROST INVESTIGATION 1944-1945. APPENDIX 7. REPORT ON WATERTOWN AIRFIELD, WATERTOWN, SOUTH DAKOTA.
Abstract
The purpose of the investigation was the determination of the development of frost action in pavement elements as affected by varying conditions of weather, soils, and ground water; and further, the obtaining of data relative to the reduction of load carrying capacities of the pavements caused by the action of frost in the various pavement elements. The investigation at Watertown Airfield was made to determine the effects of frost in an area having generally severe winter temperature conditions, a fairly high rate of annual precipitation, a high water table, and subsurface conditions favoring the development of frost action during the winter period.
