Abstract: Structural support assembly for use in arctic and subarctic (permafrost) areas or in any areas where the upper ground layer is subject to a severe annual freeze-thaw cycle, including the cooperative combination of a support structure and a heat pipe element installed in generally frozen soil. The heat pipe is of a suitably complementary configuration and/or disposition with respect to the support structure to provide appropriate stabilization of the surrounding frozen soil. In one embodiment, the heat pipe element is disposed externally of the support structure and, in another embodiment, it is disposed internally of such structure. The external embodiment further includes one version employing a linear (straight) heat pipe element and another version employing an angular (helical) element. The internal embodiment further includes one version wherein a heat pipe is integrally combined with a support structure and another version wherein a heat pipe is cooperatively installed inside a support structure.
