Building Dams in Permafrost Regions (Stroitelstvo Plotiny v Raione Vechnoi Merzlety),

Abstract

By observations, the author has confirmed the possibility of erecting dams in permafrost regions on loose soils containing much ice and he has shown that the complete freezing of a dam's body with the aid of flowing cold air through (according to a special system built into the dam) occurs quite intensively. He details the procedures involved in planning and building the dam in a permafrost region.
