Abstract:

The papers in this volume cover the following subject areas: A method that utilizes a decision matrix diagram for selecting the most suitable and economical foundations for construction in the arctic; long-term creep tests on piles in frozen soil which show that primary or attenuating creep is predominant in most cases; the thermal effects of snow accumulations on the design of piling when the snow depth is deeper than normal as the result of drifting caused by adjacent facilities; and the creep settlement of large scale strip footing tests where measured settlements are compared with computed values using different analytical methods and constitution equations.

Subject Headings: Soil settlement | Foundation settlement | Pile tests | Pile settlement | Pile foundations | Foundation design | Foundation construction | Arctic
