An Analysis of the Performance of a Warm-oil Pipeline in Permafrost, Inuvik, N.W.T.
The data collected at a warm-oil test pipeline at Inuvik. N.W.T. are analyzed making use of the theory of thaw–consolidation proposed by Morgenstern and Nixon. The observed pore pressures, settlements, and rate of melting in the thawing permafrost foundation have been compared with their correspondi...
