RE: FROZEN SOIL
They can support some fairly good loadings if stiff or very stiff. This can increase with freezing and can reduce with applied loading and thaw under pressure (a feature of ice called regulation). Depending on the soil particle size and the type of clay particle, they can have supercooled liquid in them at -40C/F.
