| Abstract | About one half of the total land area of Canada is underlain by perennially frozen ground, more commonly known as permafrost, and as development moves northward consideration must be given to this feature of the terrain. This Digest briefly describes permafrost and its characteristics and discusses problems related to foundation design in permafrost areas. |
