Abstract: Nonlinear finite-element analyses have been carried out to assess the effects of different trench backfill materials, pipe burial depths, and pipe materials on the amount of traffic load transferred to buried pipe. The ...

Abstract: First-year columnar-grained sea ice from Resolute Passage (74° 42′ N, 94° 50′ W), off Barrow Strait in the Canadian High Arctic, was tested under constant uniaxial compressive stress ...

Abstract: A method is proposed to calculate pack ice driving forces. In order to develop the method, stress distributions in a circular ice floe are calculated for various boundary loading conditions. ...
