Practical recommendations for planning, constructing and maintaining infrastructure in mountain permafrost
Abstract Mountain infrastructure can be negatively affected by ground‐ice degradation induced by the combined effects of construction activity, the structure itself and climate change. Modification of subsurface conditions may cause differential settlement, creep and deformation of structures, subst...
