Abstract:
A 3-year search for additives to reduce the frost susceptibility of soil is described. Fifteen soils and about forty additives have been tested. A discussion of the theoretical considerations for the choice of additives is presented. The additives are divided into four groups 1 void pluggers and cements, 2 aggregants, 3 dispersants, and 4 waterproofers - according to their action in soil. Author
