Assessment of frost susceptibility clay soils is challenge for civil and road engineering.Inaccurate classification can result to damage roads, pipelines building foundations.The most reliable way get valid value heave deformations measure it in in-situ.The article deals with results in-situ measurements penetration via automatic monitoring system.The main idea the system temperature layered at same time.Due embedded magnetic marks sensors probes are defined as a function changing field.The gathering information local data storage every day transmitting internet by using UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/ GSM mobile network.Results laboratory testing presented.
