Frost Heave

Frost heave is a phenomenon of accumulation of ice due  to peculiar thermodynamics circumstances. It is quite an important phenomenon that I encounter during the thesis of Matteo Dall'Amico, and we did not treat (but I  have some ideas about). Causally I found this youtube lecture that illustrate it, and can be used to understand a little more about.
