Coarse-grained soil is generally considered to be non-frost +> susceptible. Field observations and laboratory experiments show that +> coarse-grained soil can be extremely ice-rich in specific conditions. Previous +> studies have shown that oscillation of the frozen-unfrozen boundary can lead to +> the formation of ice by a mechanism different from the segregation ice +> mechanism. Conditions related to the formation of ice in coarse-grained soil +> were investigated using modern laboratory techniques. Fourteen tests were +> conducted on five soil types. The thickness of soil subjected to freeze-thaw +> cycles was varied and controlled by the magnitude and duration of applied soil +> temperatures. The thickness of the ice formed increased when the sample +> drainage was limited or prevented during cooling. Under specific conditions, +> the formation of a discrete ice layer was observed in coarse-grained soils. +> Seven samples were scanned with the μCT scanner at the completion of the +> warming and cooling tests. The sub-samples scanned were analyzed in 2D +> cross-sections, and charac- terized as 3D reconstructions. Frost heave induced +> by the formation of ice was observed in both fine- and coarse-grained soils, +> including soils that were found to be traditionally non-frost susceptible. + +### [Download](http://storage.googleapis.com/thermokarst-misc/ce_thesis/MRDillonCEThesisManuscript.pdf) + +PDF format manuscript, 166 pages.
