The papers in this volume aim to fill the gap between the theory and the application of frost heave and thermal degradation concepts. Contents: Theory pertaining to prediction of frost penetration & thermal degradation of frozen layer; Application related to design & construction of various structures against frost; Case histories illustrating experiences in projects where frost action...
