Did you know? Frost-susceptible ground is usually composed of fine-grained soils, such as silts and clays. These are also called frost-susceptible materials. Buildings constructed on perennially frozen frost-susceptible materials are typically designed to maintain the permafrost because these soils lose strength and settle if the ground thaws.
