Effect of Temperature Gradients on the Frost Heave of a Saturated Silty Clay with a Water Supply
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Frost heave is the primary cause of frost damage in cold regions. For frost-susceptible soils, water migration induced by a temperature gradient is a key factor in determining the frost heave of the soils with a water ... -
Biodiesel Addition Influences Biodegradation Rates of Fresh and Artificially Weathered Diesel Fuel in Alaskan Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Biodiesel is increasingly used in transportation and heating as an alternative to diesel fuel, furthering sustainability by reducing fossil fuel use and posing lower risks when spilled. The bioremediation of soil contaminated ... -
Resilient Behavior of Unbound Granular Materials Subjected to a Closed-System Freeze-Thaw Cycle
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The resilient modulus of a base course granular material is an important input parameter for pavement design and analysis. In recent decades, numerous studies have been performed to characterize and model the resilient ... -
Improvements in Measuring Unfrozen Water in Frozen Soils Using the Pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (P-NMR) method is commonly used to determine unfrozen water content in frozen soils. Traditionally, unfrozen water content is calculated using first return data from the free induction ... -
Experimental Damage Assessment of Flexible Pavements during Freeze-Up
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Frost action is one of the most important factors contributing to pavement damage in cold regions. Frost action causes a gain regarding the bearing capacity of flexible pavements due to the viscoelastic response of asphalt ... -
Flow Characteristics beneath a Simulated Partial Ice Cover: Effects of Ice and Bed Roughness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)At the onset of winter in cold regions, border ice may form along the banks of a river and grow outward toward the center of the channel. This type of transient ice process is not well understood, and current empirical ... -
Impacts on Rural Wastewater Systems in Subarctic Regions due to Changes in Inputs from Households
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The use of water-saving appliances and heat exchangers is becoming increasingly popular to decrease water consumption and recover energy from preheated water. However, such in-household changes can bring particular ... -
Experimental Study of Ice-Rich Permafrost Cut Slope Protection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In Alaska and other permafrost regions, cut slopes are often required in order to achieve roadway design grades in ice-rich permafrost areas. However, excavation of a cut slope and subsequent exposure to sunlight destroy ... -
Method to Quantify Freeze-Thaw Effects on Temperate Climate Soils: Calvert Cliffs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The Calvert Cliffs form much of the western coastline of the Chesapeake Bay in Calvert County, Maryland, and are actively eroding, resulting in a critical situation for many homes in close proximity to the slope’s crest. ... -
Cut-Slope Icing Prevention: Case Study of the Seasonal Frozen Area of Western China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Icing caused by the construction of cut-slope roadways is a severe problem in cold regions and is difficult to mitigate. This study proposes a method for preventing icing on cut-slope roadways. A new structure for icing ... -
Soft and Hard Slab Snow Dynamic Response to Explosives Used in Avalanche Hazard Mitigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Avalanche mitigation routinely uses explosives to both initiate avalanches and test slope stability. This project aimed to verify past findings and further develop an understanding of explosive shockwave interactions with ... -
Performance of Snow Fence at Banihal Top in Himalayan Region
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)A continuous snow fence of 50% porosity, 130 m in length, and 4.0 m height was installed to overcome the snowdrift problems at Banihal Top (Jammu and Kashmir, India) in the Himalayan region. The avalanche sites, which ... -
