Computer predictions of thaw beneath gravel embankments on warm permafrost / Susan R. Bigl, Richard L. Berg.
Title: | Computer predictions of thaw beneath gravel embankments on warm permafrost / Susan R. Bigl, Richard L. Berg. |
Author(s): | Bigl, Susan R. Berg, Richard L. |
Date: | 1991. |
Publisher: | New York: American Society of Civil Engineers |
In: | Cold Regions Engineering. Proceedings of the Sixth International Specialty Conference ... the Sheraton North Country Inn, West Lebanon, NH, February 26-28, 1991. (1991.), |
Abstract: | Model, which was used to simulate freeze-thaw effects of conditions typical of south-central Alaska, using one-dimensional finite-difference code (FREZID), predicted that gravel embankment can be constructed on ice-rich clay permafrost without generating excessive amounts of thaw settlement. Embankments thicker than 6 m are predicted to contain seasonal thaw penetrations for 10-year period experiencing air temperatures similar to 1976-86 decade. Thinner embankments will require insulative treatments. |
