Small-scale model piles frozen in various soils were tested at constant rates of displacement and constant load. The derived values were used to calculate the maximum allowable stress at the pile-soil interface. Des modèles réduits de pieux posés dans divers sols gelés ont été soumis à des essais à des vitesses de déplacement et sous des charges constantes. On a utilisé les valeurs ainsi obtenues pour calculer la contrainte maximum admissible à l'interface pieu-sol. Peer reviewed: Yes NRC publication: Yes
