Frost Heave in Swedish Slab-on-Grade
This paper discusses the risk for frost heave in modern Swedish slab-on-grade. Theoretical simulations are undertaken in order to model the frost front below the slab. Different designs of the slab-on-grade for a north (Luleå) and a south (Lund) location in Sweden are studied. For example, the insul...
