Abstract

Problems of building dams of natural materials on permafrost under severe climatic conditions in the Far North are discussed on the basis of experience in this country and abroad. Cases of damage to dams and sluiceways and its repair are described. Requirements for surveys, planning, and research in connection with building water-related structures on permafrost are presented. The book is intended for engineers specializing in water engineering matters and can be useful to students in institutions of higher learning and technical schools concerned with this subject.
