The The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory originally published "Pothole Primer: A Public Administrator's Guide to Understanding and Managing the Pothole Problem" (Special Report 81-21) in September 1981 explains that pothles are simply the result of water-saturated soil, plus traffic. A review article (http://www.usroads.com/journals/rmj/9702/rm970204.htm) explains, "One result is potholes, especially in the spring when water saturates the roadway's ground support and weakens its ability to stand up to heavy traffic." So, frost effects are a contributing, not primary cause of potholes. I plan to delete the reference from this article. --[[User:HopsonRoad]] 14:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC) |

This article is barely different than the section with the same name in [[Weathering]]. Unless there are plans to expand it substantially, I feel that it should be merged with [[Weathering]]. --[[User:HopsonRoad]] 01:36, 20 April 2010 (UTC) |

Potholes are not frost weathering
The The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory originally published "Pothole Primer: A Public Administrator's Guide to Understanding and Managing the Pothole Problem" (Special Report 81-21) in September 1981 explains that pothles are simply the result of water-saturated soil, plus traffic. A review article (http://www.usroads.com/journals/rmj/9702/rm970204.htm) explains, "One result is potholes, especially in the spring when water saturates the roadway's ground support and weakens its ability to stand up to heavy traffic." So, frost effects are a contributing, not primary cause of potholes. I plan to delete the reference from this article. --User:HopsonRoad 14:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

This article is barely different than the section with the same name in Weathering. Unless there are plans to expand it substantially, I feel that it should be merged with Weathering. --User:HopsonRoad 01:36, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
