| Summary: | The distribution of permafrost in Canada and the influence of climatic and terrain factors is discussed. This is followed by a review of engineering considerations including site investigation techniques and the design, construction and maintenance of structures in permafrost regions. L'auteur examine la répartition du pergélisol au Canada et les facteurs climatiques et topographiques qui causent sa formation. Il fait ensuite une récapitulation des critères d'ingénierie, y compris les techniques d'étude du terrain d' implantation des ouvrages dans les régions à pergélisol, leur conception, construction et entretien.
