Frost heave in soil is a complex phenomenon which involves movement of water through unfrozen soil to the freezing front. In order to clarify the frost heave mechanism, microscopic ice lensing in glass beads was observed using an apparatus which can control the temperature gradient and freezing velocity independently. As a result, it was found that, as in soil, artificial ice lenses can form in glass beads and that the thickness of the ice lenses depends on the freezing velocity. In addition, exclusion and encapsulation of glass beads particles were observed in freezing water-particles systems using the same apparatus. The results suggest that particle size and freezing velocity are important factors for ice lensing. Observing the ice lensing microscopically helps our understanding of the mechanism of frost heave.
