Negative temperature distribution in the chemical solution supplied soils was faster and intense in the 2nd freezing cycle.
•
Frost heave in the deionised water supplied test was greater, especially in the 2nd freezing cycle.
•
The maximum frost heave rate was obtained when the freezing speed was 2 cm/day.
•
Chemical mass transfer was obtained over the entire length of the soil columns at the end of two freeze-thaw cycles.
•
Salt transport to the freezing front was observed with the ratio 0.10-0.14% of sodium chloride to the dry soil mass.
•
Concentration of sodium chloride in pore water reached 20,000-30,000 mg/l, which 2-3 times exceeded the supply solution.
•
Chemical mass transfer is likely to progressively change the freezing regime under the road, hence the soil properties.
