Abstract
The International Symposium on Frost in Geotechnical Engineering,
organised as a part of the task defined for the ISSMFE Technical Cornmittee on
Frost, TC-8, was held on March 13 to 15, 1989 at the Riekonlinna Hotel in
Saariselkä, Finland.The two volumes of this proceedings contain the work
report of the ISSMFE Technical Committee on Frost during 1985-1989 and 62
refereed papers on the following four topics chosen for the conference
sessions: - Thermal and physical aspects in the freezing and thawing of soils.
-Frost-susceptibility and the frost heave of soils. -Damage to structures due
to frost action in soils. -Preventative measures against frost action in
soils.Further three special lectures were given on the topics: - Mechanics of
freezing and thawing in soils. -Frost heave properties of soils. -Frost
protection in design and construction.The members of the Finnish National
Committee on Frost have served as referees of the papers.
