soil freezing point
(OP)
I am currently working on a land fill cover project, and we are coming into winter. The specifications say that we can’t place material on frozen ground. Does anyone have a good analysis for frozen soil calculations? This is in the Denver area, and temps are warming up well above 32 during the day. I don’t believe that the actual soil is frozen if the ambient temp is 32 degrees F. Let me know if anyone has any input or case studies to support this.

If soil doesn't need to be compacted to 95% minimum I don't see any problem with placing unfrozen fill on a thin layer of frozen ground.

Thus, sand, with low moistur content, freezes more deeply than clay.
Thus if you have to remove the frozen layer, frozen low moisture soil is a thicker layer than high moisture material.
