Handbook for the Design of Bases and Foundations of Buildings and Other Structures on Permafrost

The Handbook examines the application of concepts outlined in the SNiP II-B.6-66 "Bases and foundations of buildings and other structures on permafrost: Design standards" used in design practice. A detailed treatment of methods of designing bases and foundations (including piles) on permafrost is given. The criteria used are the limiting states, i.e., bearing strength and deformations. The heat engineering designs of foundation soils are given also. The Handbook is intended for a broad spectrum of specialists engaged in foundation construction, design and research in permafrost regions.SOMMAIRE FRANCAIS A SUIVREPeer reviewed: NoNRC publication: Ye
