Summary

BASED ON RESEARCH ON FROST SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTS, A NEW FROST HEAVE PREDICTION MODEL, IS PROPOSED IN THE PAPER. SIX MAIN FACTORS IN FROST HEAVE ARE CONSIDERED: INITIAL WATER CONTENT, INITIAL DRY UNIT WEIGHT, FROST PENETRATION RATE, GROUNDWATER LEVEL, PLASTICITY INDEX AND ION CONTENT. THE MODEL IS VERY RELIABLE WITH CHARACTERISTIC CONSTANTS OF CLAYEY SOIL. THE EFFECT OF EACH FACTOR ON FROST SUSCEPTIBILITY OF SOILS IS ALSO DISCUSSED.
