Abstract

The frost susceptibility of the soil in condition of Kazakhstan is an important topic. This paper presents data about freezing heaving of Kazakhstan soil. The method of determining frost heaving is also introduced in this paper. There is testing of the Kazakhstan soil in the freezing room for frost heaving. Also the results compare with the results of Korean soil. The determination of the main parameters of the soil which include: temperature throw soil specimen, penetration of the froze, heaving rate and amount. Through these data its understandable that the soil conditions in extreme climates of Kazakhstan and Korea can create challenges for transportation geotechnics.
