Roadway Design in Seasonal Frost Areas.
Highway engineers in seasonal frost areas have been aware for decades of the damaging effects that frost in the underlying support materials can have on pavement performance. The report of the Transportation Research Board describes and assesses the merit of current practice in roadway design in sea...
