Abstract:
Road embankments constructed on ice-rich permafrost must promote a thermally stable subgrade in order to minimize thaw settlement and related long-term road maintenance costs. This research instrumented and monitored a newly constructed and reconstructed embankments over permafrost in order to determine site specific n-factors for differing vegetation types and develop a relationship between snow depth and winter n-factors for future thermal modeling.
