Abstract

This paper describes frost heaving in the Selenge River Basin in central Mongolia. Spatial information has been compiled according to predominant composition of the ground, soil moisture content and water level, permafrost distribution and temperature, and the depth of seasonal freezing/thawing of the ground. This allows the creation of a permafrost‐engineering geology map to predict the occurrence and intensity of frost heave. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Le présent article décrit le soulèvement par le gel dans le bassin de la rivière Silenge en Mongolie centrale. Une cartographie a été réalisée qui rassemble: 1) la composition principale du sol, 2) le contenu en eau et le niveau de l'eau dans le sol, 3) la distribution du pergélisol et la température, 4) la profondeur du gel saisonnier dans le sol. Cette carte présente un intérêt appliqué pour l'ingénieur en ce qu'elle prédit la distribution et l'importance du soulèvement par le gel. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
