| Title: | Influence of climate change on highway embankment stability and permafrost in the permafrost region of the Qinghai-Xizang plateau / Weidong An, Ziwang Wu, Yuanlin Zhu, Alan S. Judge. |
| Author(s): | An, Weidong. Wu, Ziwang. Zhu, Yuanlin. Judge, Alan S. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| Publisher: | Wushan, Guangzhou: South China University of Technology Press |
| In: | Permafrost. Sixth International Conference. Proceedings (Vol. 1), July 5-9, 1993, Beijing China. (1993.), |
| Abstract: | Presents preliminary numerical study of predicted effects of surface warming on ground temperatures beneath both virgin permafrost and highway embankments at two sites, which lie on continuous permafrost, 4700 m a.s.l., with mean annual air temperature of --5.6°C. Prediction shows increased depth of thaw accompanied by greater thaw settlement of embankment constructed on ice-rich foundation. |
| Notes: | In: Permafrost. Sixth International Conference. Proceedings (Vol. 1), July 5-9, 1993, Beijing China / International Conference on Permafrost. |
