Experimental study on delamination frost heave of steel fiber-improved soil
The segregation frost heave caused by water migration is the main source of frost heave, and the water migration law is the key factor to reveal the mechanism of frost heave of soils in the freezing process.

Basic Study on the Frost Heave Pressure of Rocks : Dependence of the Maximum Frost Heave Pressure on Temperature [PDF]
In this study, we attempted to measure frost heave pressure, i.e., the pressure that develops in the heat-flow direction when rocks are subject to frost heave and ice lenses grow.

A Generalized Secondary Frost Heave Model
A generalized model for secondary frost heave is developed. Secondary frost heave arises during freezing owing to cryostatic suction effects that can increase the upward water permeation to facilitate ice-lens growth and increased heave. Nondimensionalization and scaling are used to simplify the model equations and to identify a dimensionless group ...

Secondary frost heave in freezing soils
Frost heave describes the phenomenon whereby soil freezing causes upwards surface motion due to the action of capillary suction imbibing water from the unfrozen region below. The expansion of water on freezing is a small part of the overall surface heave
