To the question of improvement the normative methodology for calculating the frost resistance of a road structure

Abstract

The paper discusses the negative impact of heaving soil during freezing of a road structure, including heaving formation. The provisions of normative methodology for testing the road structure for frost resistance are considered. The results of indirect and laboratory tests for determining the soil group by the degree of heaving are analyzed. The validity of influence of natural factors on frost heaving is considered. Proposals for improving the normative methodology are put forward.
