ABSTRACT: Embankment instability is frequently observed on the Alaska Highway in Yukon (Canada). Some of the instability problems are close to culverts. Free air and water circulation through the culvert creates a thermal disturbance to the surrounding soil. Two culverts near Beaver Creek were instrumented to document such disturbances. Soil temperatures around the culverts were recorded for an entire year while water temperatures and flow were recorded during both spring and summer. These data allow validation of mathematical relations established between the heat flux below the culvert and water temperature and flow. Variations in flow and water temperature were simulated in the mathematical model to determine the influence of these two parameters on the heat flux transmitted from the culvert to the ground.
