The analytical solutions of unsteady heat conduction with variable thermal properties (thermal conductivity, density and specific heat are functions of temperature or coordinates) are meaningful in theory. In addition, they are very useful to the computational heat conduction to check the numerical solutions and to develop numerical schemes, grid generation methods and so forth. Such solutions in rectangular coordinates have been derived by the authors; some other solutions for unsteady point symmetrical heat conduction in spherical coordinates are given in this paper to promote the heat conduction theory and to develop the relative computational heat conduction.

Prediction of permafrost thaw and settlement of dikes constructed on perennially frozen ground is important for maintenance and foundation stability. A method is developed for estimating the rates of thaw and settlement, based on simple heat conduction theory. A comparison of calculated and observed rates of thaw for dikes on ice-rich foundation soils at the Kelsey Generating Station in northern Manitoba shows good agreement and indicates that thaw and settlement rates can be predicted with reasonable accuracy.
