I have a research paper titled "Uplift Forces on Foundations in Frost Heaving Soils" by Edward Penner and I reference it frequently for many of my projects. The soils and site conditions for Penner's study were clays with moisture contents at 44%. Are there any other reference papers out there that bring a wider range of moisture and soil conditions when designing for adfreeze effects?
