Question

For grade-level structures such as building slabs and highway pavements (no deep foundations), other approaches to the control of the frost heave problem are taken. What does the control requires to achieve forest heave problem?

Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that for grade-level structures such as building slabs and highway pavements (no deep foundations), other approaches to the control of the frost heave problem are taken.

Step 2

Evaluating the damaging impact of frost action on highways and adjusting design of highway to reduce the damaging impacts in frost areas is a major endeavor. 

Step 3

The correction is costly and it is hard to detect offending conditions or materials. Great efforts are required for identification of materials which are subject to frost heaves and boils and the conditions which contribute to the issues.
