Abstract
Frost heave occurs when ground temperature decreases under $0^{\circ}C$ and soil volume expands, which causes roadway and buried pipe line failure due to differential heaving. There are several models to predict volumetric strain caused by frost heave, but they requires expertises who have professional background and experience related to numerical analysis. This study presents an evaluation method to predict volumetric strain caused by frost heave with fundamental physical properties of soils. The evaluation method is assessed with experimental results.
