Summary:In this paper, we report the differences between frost susceptibility of rock and soil. Our research consists of two types of frost heave tests. One test uses solid rock samples. The other uses artificiallyshattered, grainy rock samples. We conducted these two types of frost heave tests to investigate the differences between frost susceptibility of solid rock and grainy rock. From the test results, non- frostsusceptible rock did not change its frost characteristics in solid and grainy condition. On the other hand, the frost characteristics of frost-susceptible rock changed dramatically in solid and grainy condition. These facts above indicate that the frost susceptibility of rock and that of soil are different.
