Guide to a field description of permafrost for engineering purposes
Almost one half of Canada's total land surface is underlain by permafrost and its existence has manyimplications to both scientific and engineering interests. Engineering experience has indicated thatsite investigations are essential in permafrost areas but no standard method for reporting perm...
