"Frost heaving (or a frost heave) is an upwards swelling of soil during freezing conditions caused by an increasing presence of ice as it grows towards the surface, upwards from the depth in the soil where freezing temperatures have penetrated into the soil (the freezing front or freezing boundary).

: Your first ref. is apt - donc, sols gonflants.// I don't think frost heave is the argument. I thought the same at first.

Reference:
Expandable, Shrink-Swell, HEAVABLE Soils?
Expandable soils are referred to by many names. "Expandable soils", "expansive clays", "shrink-swell soils" and "heavable soils" are some of the many names used for these materials.

The argument between "gonflable" and "soulevable" needs a third man?
