A New Report on Permafrost Research Needs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004) -
A Review of the Existing Data on Soil-Freezing Experiments and Assessment of Soil-Freezing Curves Derived from Soil–Water Retention Curves
(ASCE, 2022-3-1)This study focuses on the investigation of the predictive capability of the Clausius–Clapeyron (C–C) equation in conjunction with soil–water retention characteristics to estimate soil-freezing curves (SFC). The Clausius–Clapeyron ... -
Activation Energy for Creep of Spray Ice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)The activation energy must be known in order to relate creep rate to temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. In this note the activation energy for man-made spray ice is determined from primary and secondary ... -
Aging and Low-Temperature Cracking of Asphalt Concrete Mixture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1996)Low-temperature cracking in asphalt concrete (AC) pavement is influenced by several factors broadly categorized as material, environmental, and pavement-structure geometry. Among the environmental factors affecting ... -
Agitation and Filterability of Freeze/Thawed Sludge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)Particle size has opposing effects on the effectiveness of freeze/thaw sludge conditioning. Small particles migrate easily and coagulate into larger particles during freezing, but small particles also cause poor sludge ... -
Alaska's Infrastructure and Limits to Growth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Economic development and population movement in the United States have historically been linked to the development of infrastructure—for transportation and for power. Much of Alaska is currently undeveloped; thus, a critical ... -
Analysis of Construction Workers’ Health and Safety in Cold Weather Conditions
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Extreme cold weather conditions affect construction workers’ health and safety performance. Hence, the goal of this article is to identify and analyze these challenges so that effective measures can be developed and ... -
Analytical Models of Local Concrete‐Steel Bond at Low Temperature
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Analytical models of local bond stress‐slip relationships are established based on an experimental program of 65 specimens in the temperature range between -
Analytical Study on Heat Transfer of a Tunnel Lining-Rock-Insulation Structure in Cold Regions
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)In cold regions, the flow of outside air into a tunnel often causes freeze–thaw damage to the surrounding rock, and insulation methods are usually adopted to avoid this damage. In this study, the heat transfer in a multilayer ... -
Analyzing Loads from Ice Shedding Conductors for UHV Transmission Towers in Heavy Icing Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In this paper, a finite element analysis (FEA) model of seven span continuous conductors and insulators for an ultra high voltage (UHV) transmission line in a heavy icing area was established for ice shedding analysis. The ... -
Anchorage Peat Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The peat assessed in this study is Sphagnum moss that formed during the Holocene in wetland bogs around Anchorage, Alaska. Undisturbed peat in these bogs has a water content that ranges from 400 to 1,000% and averages 620%. ... -

Application of Fracture Mechanics to Ice/Structure Interactions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The brittle nature of ice, particularly at high strain rates, suggests that fracture mechanics may be a suitable tool for modeling ice/structure interactions. However, tests on polycrystalline randomly oriented freshwater ... -
Application of PIV Technique in Model Test of Frost Heave of Unsaturated Soil
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Frost heave of soil is a highly nonuniform problem, in which the local deformation is much more severe and meaningful compared with the overall deformation. When soil is upon freezing, a water–ice phase change occurs and ... -
Artificial Thawing of Frozen Ground: A Review
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Understanding the freezing and thawing processes in porous media such as soils is important, especially in regions experiencing seasonal frost or permafrost. These processes have a wide range of implications as diverse as ... -
Assessing Frost Resistance of Concrete Aggregates in Minnesota
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This study was undertaken to identify test procedures capable of reliably assessing concrete aggregate freeze-thaw durability and establish appropriate acceptance criteria for the same. Highway condition surveys were ... -
Assessing the Performance of a Sloped-Block Ice-Control Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Hardwick, Vt., having experienced 10 ice-jam floods in
