| Title: | Protection of warm permafrost using controlled subsidence at Nunapitchuk airport / E.G. Johnson, G.P. Bradley. |
| Author(s): | Johnson, E. G. Bradley, G. P. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| Publisher: | Trondheim: Tapir Publishers |
| In: | Permafrost. Fifth International Conference. August 2-5, 1988. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 2. |
| Abstract: | Airport near Bethel, Kuskokwim, AK, is constructed over virgin tundra underlain by warm permafrost consisting of massive ice and ice-rich silt. If not adequately considered, resulting thaw would cause settlement differentials of several metres. Concept of controlled subsidence was used to reduce such settlements to tolerable level. Construction finished in spring 1985 and by September 1987 no thaw had occurred. |
