Abstract

A series of nine spread footing tests was installed on snow at Camp Century, Greenland, in 1961 and continuously observed through the 1963 summer season. The influence of footing load, size and shape on settlement were investigated and the effects of the uncontrolled parameters temperature and snow density were recorded. (Author)
