Field Tests of Deep Power-installed Screw Anchors in Permafrost
A test program was conducted in northern Manitoba to evaluate the creep behavior and load capacity of 8-, 10-, and 15-in. (20.3-, 25.4-, and 38.1-cm) diameter power-installed screw anchors embedded in permafrost (frozen, stratified silts and clays containing ice at about 31.5 °F (−0.3 °C)). The test...
