Attenuating Creep of Piles in Frozen Soils

by V. R. Parameswaran, Natl Research Council of Canada, Div, of Building Research, Ottawa, Ont, Canada,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Foundations in Permafrost and Seasonal Frost

Abstract:

Results of several long-term creep tests of piles in frozen soils are analyzed; the primary or attenuating creep is predominant in most cases. For effective design of pile foundations in permafrost areas, this aspect should be taken into consideration.
