In 1971 lateral pile tests were performed at Inuvik, N.W.T. to determine design values in creep for timber and steel pipe piles. Formulation of a theoretical method for prediction of pile load capacity from basic permafrost creep parameters was a part of this program.In 1972 pressuremeter creep test...
