I am looking for Casagrande's "A New Theory of Frost Heaving" written in 1931. It is referenced in almost every piece of literature related to frost heaving but I can't find a copy anywhere! Does anyone have a copy they could send me or know where I might find one? The official reference is below:

Casagrande, A. 1931. Discussion on "A New Theory of Frost Heaving," by A.C. Benkelman and F.R. Olstead, Highw. Res. Board Proc., 11(1): 168-172

Thank you for your help!
 
This may not help.

Most State Highway Departments that I knew of would participate in activities of the Highway Research Board. Many highway engineers also belonged to the group as members. Then each year the proceedings would be published in a book or two. I used to get them but have none in my files now.

It just maybe that some DOT has kept those old publications in a library.

I did a search on Google and here is a bit of info.

"The Highway Research Board (HRB) was established in 1920 as a unit of the Division of Engineering, National Research Council, under the corporate authority of the National Academy of Sciences."

It could be that if you try those agencies you may come up with where those old proceedings might be found.
