Abstract

A method of calculating the optimal thickness of the cushion beneath shallow foundations installed on bed soils subject to various degrees of heaving is cited for low-rise construction. Design parameters are given for the frost heaving of soils; they take into account the load due to the building, the moisture conditions of the soils, and the heaving-deformation diagrams.
