Abstract:

The objectives of this study are to: (1) quantify the effects of frost penetration on pavement performance in climates with deep sustained frost as  compared to environments with multiple freeze-thaw cycles, (2) investigate the effect that local adaptations have on mitigating frost penetration damage, and (3) estimate the associated cost of constructing and maintaining pavements in freezing climates.
