| Summary: | Almost one hall of Canada's total land surface is underlain by permafrost and its existence has many implications to both scientific and engineering interests. Engineering experience has indicated that site investigations are essential in permafrost areas but no standard method for reporting permafrost conditions has been used or is available. This booklet has been prepared with the hope that the descriptive system outlined will fulfil this need. ... : Près de la moitié de toutes les terres émergées au Canada reposent sur du pergélisol, et la présence de ce type de sol a de nombreuses incidences pour ce qui intéresse tant les sciences que l'ingénierie. L'expérience en matière d'ingénierie révèle que les reconnaissances des sols demeurent essentielles dans les régions à pergélisol, mais qu'aucune méthode standard de consignation des conditions de pergélisol n'a été jusqu'ici employée ni même n'est disponible. Nous avons préparé cet opuscule dans l'espoir que le système descriptif qui y est exposé répondra à ce besoin. ... |
