Abstract：

Experimental　study　on　frost　heave　of　saturated　silty　clay　under　six　conditions　was　conducted.　The　results　show　that　cooling　temperature,　compactness,　temperature　gradient,　overburden　pressure　and　water　supply　condition　are　the　key　factors　for　frost　heave.　The　temperature　gradient,　cooling　temperature　and　overburden　pressure　are　inversely　proportional　to　frost　heave.　The　compactness　is　proportional　to　frost　heave.　The　frost　heave　ratio　is　an　important　index　to　characterize　frost　susceptibility,　which　is　related　to　material　parameters　and　freezing　conditions.　Finally,　control　measures　of　frost　heave　used　to　guide　engineering　practice　is　proposed　base　on　the　experimental　study.　©　2016,　Editorial　Department　of　Journal　of　Building　Materials.　All　right　reserved.
