Abstract: Experience gained in recent years in performing cone penetration tests in frozen soils, both in the field and in cold room, leads to the conclusion that certain frozen soil properties needed ...

Abstract: The force exerted by a moving ice sheet on an offshore structure is known to vary strongly with the geometrical conditions at the contact with the structure and with the rate of ice movement, ...

Abstract: The finite element computer program RDPIL.FOR for laterally loaded piles in a viscoelastic layered soil is developed. The program uses a Maxwell model to accommodate the initial elastic subgrade modulus, which is independent ...

Abstract: Finite-element simulations using a large-strain thaw-consolidation model, formulated by the writers, are presented and compared with the data obtained from a warm-oil test pipeline at Inuvik, Northwest Territory, Canada. ...

Abstract: The approach for designing a single vertically and laterally loaded pile rests primarily on the local moment capacity and on the overall instability of the pile section. Design codes generally recommend interaction formulas ...

Abstract: The analysis and design of buried chilled pipelines in frost heaving soils warrants a study of the complex pipe‐soil interaction. Stress gradients are generated at the interface between frozen and unfrozen ground because ...
