Use of Styrofoam insulating layer to attenuate frost action to reduce effect of freezing temperatures has been under study for past 5 yr; Styrofoam insulating layers have shown promising results under test in new flexible pavement at Midland, Mich, in new rigid pavement near West Union, Iowa, and in maintenance treatment of severe frost heave in flexible pavement near Minneapolis, Minn.
