While permafrost provides excellent bearing for structures, it may lose its strength to such an extent that it will not even support light structures when thawed. Differential settlement is normal and usually results in serious damage or building collapse. Pile foundations were used extensively at Inuvik, NWT, an area of continuous permafrost to depths of over 300 ft. The use of piles at Inuvik was a suitable foundation type for the majority of buildings and facilities.M\ueame si le perg\ue9lisol fournit une excellente portance pour les constructions, il peut perdre de sa force ou de sa r\ue9 sistance \ue0 un point tel qu'une fois d\ue9gel\ue9, il ne pourra m\uea me plus supporter des ouvrages l\ue9gers.
