    Soil

    For those interested parties;In F.W.Stoecker's book there are several references to ASHRAE articles "Preventing Floor Heaving in Refrigerated Warehouses","Ambient Gravity Air Flow Prevents Freezer Floor Heaving" and "A Case History of a Frost-Heaved Refriderated Freezer Floor".Is ASHRAE material available to us tech's? Sounds like some interestimg reading to me!!!
