A comparative determination of tangential forces of frost heaving depending on the soil freezing temperature regime was carried out using three calculus methods. Their analysis resulted in recommendations (relying on standard laboratory method for measuring specific tangential forces of frost heave of soils) for calculating integral magnitude of the tangential forces of frost swelling of foundations.
