for various overburden pressures when water pressure is zero. He employed light photography to locate the ice lens in a sample through transparent cell walls. This permitted a real step forward in thermodynamic understanding of the effect of frost heave pressures.
To establish the temperature at the actively growing face under various conditions of heaving and whether such changes can be predicted even semiquantitatively using the Clapeyron equation, is the main thrust of this paper. A further area of interest is the structure of the segregated ice under various externally-imposed conditions. Evidence has been presented (Penner and Ueda, 1978; Penner and Walton, 1979) that the zone of ice segregation appears to extend over an increasingly greater distance and temperature range from the 0ยฐC-isotherm as overburden pressure is increased. Fig. 1 shows the predicted change in rate of ice accumulation as a function of cold-side temperature and overburden pressure. The ice is apparently located near the 0 ยฐ C-isotherm at low pressures; at high pressures, on the other hand, the interpretation is that it forms in a more diffuse band and over a wider temperature range.
The study method was designed to create the various conditions described below and to locate the ice phase by X-ray photography through the test cell without interrupting the test conditions. c z~ z XIO 2 6.0 5.0 40 3.0

Mercury porosimetry is described as a method for rapid and detailed prediction of the water-ice phase fraction in porous media. The mercury volume-intrusion pressure approximates the functional dependence of the ice volume-temperature curve in the range most important for frost heave, i.e., within a
