Undersnow structures -- Byrd station, Antarctica
Station consists of network of shallow tunnels containing light, T-5 type, prefabricated buildings and other items equipment; some small buildings are elevated above snow surface on extensible columns; tunnels were constructed by "cut-and-cover" method; data are given concerning tunnel deformation, floor levels and foundation settlement, temperature measurements, ventilation, and other tests; deformation data are analyzed to provide design information; it is shown that heat loss from buildings increases rate of tunnel deformation substantially; snow reinforcement tests, air permeability of snow and ventilation of undersnow camps are discussed.
