Gravel-pad foundations to control groundwater movements in frost-susceptible soil. A case study / Rolf S. Walum.
Title: | Gravel-pad foundations to control groundwater movements in frost-susceptible soil. A case study / Rolf S. Walum. |
Author(s): | Walum, Rolf S. |
Date: | 1991. |
Publisher: | Oslo: Norwegian National Committee for Hydrology |
In: | Arctic hydrology. Present and future tasks. Hydrology of Svalbard - hydrological problems in cold climate. Seminar Longyearbyen, Svalbard, 14-17 September 1990. (1991.), |
Abstract: | Groundwater level and movement due to freeze-thaw can be controlled by use of gravel pads to lift permafrost out of original active layer and to create underground barrier of frost which relocates water movement in ground. Presents case study from Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, where these principles were used to support 700 m² building erected during 1987-88. On-going monitoring of ground temperatures, permafrost level and settlement indicates stable conditions close to expected levels. |
