Precision of determination of thawing depth of the frozen rocks
Abstract An important quantity determining the choice of technical solutions in design of both surface and underground structures in the permafrost area is the thawing depth of the rocks. To obtain simple analytical relations to determine the thawing depth over time, a simple assumption is used: tha...
