Dikes on permafrost : predicting thaw and settlement / by W.G. Brown and G.H. Johnston. : NR36-2/451E-PDF
Prediction of permafrost thaw and settlement of dikes constructed on perennially frozen ground is important for maintenance and foundation stability. A method is developed for estimating the rates of thaw and settlement, based on simple heat conduction theory. A comparison of calculated and observed rates of thaw for dikes on ice-rich foundation soils at the Kelsey Generating Station in northern Manitoba shows good agreement and indicates that thaw and settlement rates can be predicted with reasonable accuracy.
