Les facteurs qui influent sur la gélivité du sol. [...] des sols différents se comportent de façon très diverse lorsque la température de l'air descend très sensiblement au-dessous de 0 °C. Certains sols gonflent et sont le siège de formation de lentilles de glace [...] Le gonflement c'est-à-dire la migration d'eau est fonction : de la granulométrie du sol, de la nature minéralogique des particules solides, de la densité sèche du sol. 1, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9livit%C3%A9%20du%20sol
