Abstract:

The objective of this report was to produce a design guide related to roadway design and construction in organic terrain referred as "Muskeg". The report covers the latest design and construction principles so that the designers, planners, builders and operators can systematically analyze the available information, assemble required data and design roadways. General aspects of foundation stability, common types of problems which may develop and investigations required to evaluate problems are also outlined. (114 p.)
