Question

To be non-frost susceptible, what does a well-graded granular soil should contain and uniform granular soils must contain?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The most critical soil factor influencing the heavy frost tends to be grain size Grain size is being used as the criterion for most FS parameters because it's the most easily calculated soil characteristic that has been associated with frost heavy Soils without any particles that are smaller than 74 micron simply do not heave within natural conditions that have long been known and indicate that grain size should be used to describe f limitations.
