| Abstract | One of the problems under consideration is the feasibility of constructing basements at the new site of Aklavik. Technically there appear to be many difficulties in the construction of basements that will perform well in permafrost areas where the soil is subject to settlement on thawing. These technical difficulties tend to make the construction of basements uneconomical. In practice, relatively few basements have been built in such areas and there is virtually no published material on the performance of basements in permafrost. |
