At the request of the Swedish Road Administration, VTI has constructed and developed an apparatus for laboratory determination of the frost susceptibility of soils. To put the freezing test results into practice for road construction, a validation test has been performed. A testing surface was instrumented to give the necessary variables for frost heave calculation, such as; air temperature, freezing index; frost heave; frost depth; ground water level; heat extraction at different levels below road surface.
