Evaluation of Cracking Resistance in Alaskan Asphalt Pavement with Paving Interlayers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Paving interlayers have been used in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays in a variety of design and construction situations for more than three decades. In cold regions such as Alaska and other northern states, AC pavements are ... -
Sustainable Construction in Remote Cold Regions: Gathering and Transferring Practical Knowledge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This research identifies the sustainable construction techniques appropriate for remote and cold regions; some of the techniques also apply to operations and maintenance. This research developed a method to extract practical ... -
Investigation of Pothole Severity and Maintenance Methods in Canada through Questionnaire Survey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper investigates the severity of pothole problems, conducts a critical assessment of current maintenance practices, and identifies resources available for pothole repair based on the results from a questionnaire ... -
Studies of Snow-Dropping from a Train on a Turnout due to Dynamic Excitations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Snow accumulated on a train underframe may detach itself in places where rail discontinuity causes an excitation to the train. In turnout areas, this may cause serious problems when snow buildup from beneath the rolling ... -
Statistical Modeling of Time Series for Ice Accretion Detection on Bridge Cables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the northern regions, ice accretion on bridge cables poses serious risks to the structure as well as to vehicular traffic when ice falls from the cables onto the road. The detection and quantification of ice formation ... -
Thermal Properties of Compost Biocover Subjected to Freeze-Thaw Cycles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, the key heat-transfer parameters, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity of biocover material made of compost subjected to freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) for a wide range of water contents is investigated ... -
Embankment Stability of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway in Permafrost Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)It has been 1 years since the Qinghai–Tibet Railway (QTR), constructed from 21 to 25, was opened to traffic in 26. Experts from around the world, in the field of cold regions, have been paying close attention to ... -
Strength and Durability of Lime-Treated Jarosite Waste Exposed to Freeze and Thaw
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)An alternate freezing and thawing cycle (F-T) is a weathering process that is very common in cold regions. In a laboratory, the durability of any stabilized or nonstabilized material can be studied by subjecting the material ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A methodological study of modeling runoff from rain-on-snow events was conducted using the northern Swedish city of Kiruna as a test case, with respect to physiographic, drainage system, and the current and projected future ... -
Experimental Study on Anti-Icing and Deicing for Model Wind Turbine Blades with Continuous Carbon Fiber Sheets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A novel anti-icing and deicing technique for wind turbine blades using surface-mounted continuous carbon fiber sheets is proposed and experimentally verified with model blades under both static and rotation conditions. ... -
Estimation of Liquid Water Content of Snow Surface by Spectral Reflectance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study measures the spectral reflectance from snow with known liquid water content (LWC) in a climate chamber using two optical sensors, a near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer and a Road eye sensor. The spectrometer measures ... -
Seasonal Frost Penetration in Pavements with Multiple Layers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and frost penetration depth in cold regions can be key contributors to pavement damage, and it is important as part of design practice to account for detrimental freeze-thaw conditions in the ... -
Long-Term Thermal Effects of Air Convection Embankments in Permafrost Zones: Case Study of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Long-term thermal effects of air convection embankments (ACEs) over 55-km-long permafrost zones along the Qinghai–Tibet railway were analyzed on the basis of 14-year records (22–216) of ground temperature. The results ... -
Characteristics of Asphalt Pavement Damage in Degrading Permafrost Regions: Case Study of the Qinghai–Tibet Highway, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the context of climate warming, damage to road pavements and embankments in permafrost regions caused by thawing of underlying permafrost severely reduces the serviceability of roads. In this study, 1 types of asphalt ... -

Simple Method for Estimating Snow Strength Using CPT Sleeve Friction Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The in situ strength of polar snow is not easily measured; most assessments rely on indices derived from snow density and/or are limited in depth. To overcome these deficiencies, modified cone penetration testing (CPT) ... -
Shake Table Modeling of Pile Foundation Performance in Laterally Spreading Frozen Ground Crust Overlying Liquefiable Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)One of the most important lessons learned from Alaska’s major earthquakes is that lateral spread of frozen ground crust overlying liquefiable soils induced extensive bridge foundation damage. A shake table experiment was ... -
Influence of Silica Fume and Class F Fly Ash on Mechanical and Rheological Properties and Freeze-Thaw Durability of Self-Compacting Mortars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper investigates the effect of different dosages of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) in self-compacting mortars (SCMs) on the freeze-thaw (F-T) resistance as well as fresh and hardened properties. Nine mortar ... -
Ice-Jam Forecasting during River Breakup Based on Neural Network Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Forecasting of ice jams and their breakup is crucial to prevent or reduce flooding risk in cold regions. A back propagation (BP) neural network model improved by the Levenberg-Marquardt clustering method has been developed ... -
Dynamic Responses of a Wind Turbine Founded in Warm Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Over the last decade, wind turbines have been constructed in several villages throughout western Alaska because of the abundance of wind sources. Because of the extensive existence of warm permafrost and the high cost of ...
