Abstract In a continuing effort to better understand the frost‐induced breakdown of rock, experiments were designed specifically to assess a theoretical model of crack propagation due to segregation ice growth in water‐saturated rocks with interconnected cracks (Walder and Hallet, 1985). A rectangul...
