Field Investigation of Soil Heave by a Large Diameter Chilled Gas Pipeline Experiment, Fairbanks, Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)A large scale 105-m-long, 0.9-m-diam chilled pipeline experiment was conducted to assess the response of a production pipeline that transits between unfrozen (seasonally frozen) and permafrost soils in discontinuous ... -
Release of Contaminants from Melting Spray Ice of Industrial Wastewaters
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2004)This study was carried out to investigate organic and inorganic contaminant removal from melting spray ice produced from aerated stabilization basin treated pulp mill wastewater and the oil sands tailings pond water. The ... -
Friction Measurement on Cycleways Using a Portable Friction Tester
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)In seeking to promote cycling in wintertime, it is desirable to understand how important the winter maintenance service level is in people’s decision to cycle or not, and methods to compare different road conditions on ... -
Estimating Soil Liquefaction in Ice-Induced Vibration of Bucket Foundation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The two suction foundation platforms installed in the Bohai Sea have vertical narrow columns passing through the water level. The continuous ice crushing on the columns and thereby the dynamic ice-structure interaction may ... -
Passively Cooled Railway Embankments for Use in Permafrost Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Permafrost (permanently frozen ground) underlies approximately 25% of the world’s land surface. Construction of surface facilities in these regions presents unique engineering challenges due to the alteration of the thermal ... -
Enlarged Base (Belled) Piles for Use in Ice or Ice-Rich Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)The influence of enlarging the base of a pile on the total and end bearing capacities of a pile in ice-rich permafrost is evaluated along with the principles used to evaluate the total capacity of uniform diameter and ... -
Triaxial Testing of Frozen Sand: Equipment and Example Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This paper describes a high-pressure, low-temperature triaxial testing system that has been specifically designed and built at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology in order to study the physical mechanisms controlling ... -
Research on River Ice Processes: Progress and Missing Links

Nonlinear Thermal Analysis for Qing-Tibet Railway Embankments in Cold Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Heat convection in ballast mass in railway embankments is a problem of heat convection in porous media. In order to calculate the temperature distribution of the Qing-Tibet railway embankment from the governing equations ... -
Study of Methods to Control Frost Action in Cold Regions Tunnels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)This paper presents a case history study of a tunnel in the cold plateau region of China. It describes the permafrost distribution of the mountain in which the tunnel is located and the observed air and surrounding rock ... -
Crushing Ice Forces on Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)On the basis of the results of small-scale and medium-scale indentation tests and full-scale measurements of ice forces, a methodology to estimate crushing ice forces is presented. The main point to note is that the effective ... -

Discussion of “Laboratory Study of Anchor Ice Growth” by J. C. Doering, L. E. Bekeris, M. P. Morris, K. E. Dow, and W. C. Girling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002) -
Performance of Polymer-Modified Asphalt-Aggregate Mixtures in Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Polymer-modified asphalts are used in Alaska to address problems with rutting, cracking, and premature aging. This usage raises two important issues—the improvement of the pavement performance with polymer modification ... -
Review of Alluvial-channel Responses to River Ice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The extent to which alluvial channels respond to ice-cover formation, presence, and breakup is not well understood. Some responses are well known and observed, such as increased flow stage or localized scour beneath the ... -
Modeling of Airborne Debris around Overplow Deflectors during High-Speed Snowplowing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)An engineering model is presented to calculate the trajectory of airborne debris that adversely affects visibility during high-speed snow plowing. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically with ... -
Ice Boom Simulations and Experiments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A three-dimensional discrete element model (DEM) was developed to simulate ice boom operation in a rectangular channel. The model simulates the motion of each individual ice floe, the interaction between adjacent floes, ... -
Assessment of Indoor Air Quality in Interior Alaskan Homes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Interior Alaska has indoor air quality issues similar to those of other far northern communities associated with long cold winters and reduced ventilation rates. Moreover, geological features in the hills around Fairbanks, ... -

Visibility Improvements with Overplow Deflectors during High-Speed Snowplowing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Windtunnel and field experiments are presented to quantify visibility improvements with deflectors that were placed over the top of snowplow blades and were designed to reduce airborne debris. Windtunnel measurements provide ...
