| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we compile data on frost heave and associated damage to roadways, consider additional parameters for roadway design, and examine new methods of assessment. Specifically, we investigate pavement surface conditions over a total of 800 km of roadway and use the data to find the relation among type of earthwork (cut or fill), freezing index, and damage from frost heave damage. Additionally, we examined 51 types of subgrade soil sampled at heaved locations. The results elucidate the regional characteristics of the freezing index at 323 points throughout Japan. For comparison, we reviewed more than 100 years of weather data, using it to reveal long-term fluctuations in the freezing index. Finally, we show that differences in how pavement is visually inspected affects the accuracy of the resulting assessments.
