Abstract
Three products are presently used in Norway as thermal insulation in roads; lightweight clay aggregate (LWCA), foam glass aggregate and extruded polystyrene boards (XPS). As a evaluation on the present design guidelines for frost insulation and in order to compare the different insulation products, a field test is established in connection with the construction of a new main road (E6) south of Trondheim in Norway. The test site has four different sections. In addition to three sections where each of the three different insulation products are used, one additional section contains ordinary pavement materials produced from crushed rock.
