"To conclude this three-stage program on the development of the floating foundation system, a final computer simulation scenario using the results obtained from the full scale test evaluation conducted in Phase 2 was undertaken. The final design was then reviewed and the most effective method of installation was established. To determine the effectiveness of the floating foundation system, the method of analysis used to represent actual in-situ conditions was critiqued. Finally, conclusions and recommendations on the future role of this foundation system as an alternative construction technique in discontinuous permafrost were noted"--Introduction.
