Disinfection By-Product Formation during Long-Term Water Storage in Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)In many areas of Northern and Western Alaska, small streams and shallow lakes serve as community raw water supplies. These water supplies freeze completely during winter. In order to supply drinking water during the 6–9 ... -
Design Parameters Analysis of Insulated Embankments in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Permafrost Region
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Based on the problems of application of embankments with insulation in permafrost regions, a finite-element method (FEM) was adopted to analyze the influence on permafrost protection effects of the parameters such as ... -

Qinghai-Xizang Railroad Construction in Permafrost Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Construction of the Qinghai-Xizang Railroad (QXR) in permafrost regions presents a number of significant engineering problems. The engineering properties of permafrost can vary greatly, and climate warming, especially warm ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Insulation Application to Embankment of Qinghai–Tibetan Highway
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)In many cases, protecting permafrost from further thaw due to human activities might be the first choice for embankment design in permafrost regions. Two-dimensional finite-element analysis was conducted, in which phase ... -
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 -

Seasonal Frost Effects on the Soil–Foundation–Structure Interaction System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)This paper presents the results of more than one year’s monitoring efforts and analysis of the effects of environmental variables on the dynamic properties of a selected bridge in Anchorage, Alaska. A seismic monitoring ... -
Cellular-Automata Model for Dense-Snow Avalanches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)This paper introduces a three-dimensional model for simulating dense-snow avalanches, based on the numerical method of cellular automata. This method allows one to study the complex behavior of the avalanche by dividing ... -
Experimental Study of Ice Jam Thickening under Dynamic Flow Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)River ice jams are a common occurrence on northern rivers, and their formation can present a severe flood risk to nearby communities. As more and more river regulation projects are developed to provide an alternative to ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of Helical Piers in Frozen Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)This paper presents a study of the behavior of helical pier foundations in frozen ground. The scope of the work presented includes developing finite-element analysis (FEA) models that simulate the stress-strain relationships ... -

Modeling of Lake Ice Characteristics in North America Using Climate, Geography, and Lake Bathymetry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)Ice cover records from 128 freshwater lakes in the United States and Canada were analyzed. Multivariable linear regression models, log-transform models, and a combination of the two (the “hybrid” form) were used to express ... -

Ice Tank Tests on Ice Rubble Loads Against a Cable-Moored Conical Platform
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Presented herein are ice-tank data concerning ice-rubble loads against a moored conical platform. Of prime interest is how rubble-ice loads are influenced by horizontal stiffness of the platform’s mooring system. An ... -
Field and Laboratory Validation of High-Flow Air Bubbler Mechanics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Recent physical model studies have refined designs for high-flow air diffusers for managing accumulations of broken ice at navigation projects. Although these solutions are successful in the model, implementing them in the ... -
Snow Entrainment Coefficient Estimated by Field Observations and Wind Tunnel Experiments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The boundary condition for concentration of snow particles at the bed is necessary to calculate snowdrifts by a numerical analysis model. The flux type or the gradient type boundary conditions are reasonable. An idea of ... -
Thermal Transfer Analysis of a Freezing Soil Medium with an Embedded Pipeline
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006)This paper conducted the unsteady state heat transfer analyses, using the commercial code -
