Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to outline the various procedures and techniques that may be used in engineering soil surveys to obtain representative samples of perennially frozen ground in northern areas, so that subsurface conditions may be adequately determined. : Ce document décrit les méthodes et les techniques qui peuvent être utilisées lors des sondages géotechniques afin d'obtenir des échantillons représentatifs de pergélisol (ré gions du Nord) dans le but de mieux connaître l'état du sol.
