Closure to “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) -
Suitability of Dynamic Modeling for Flood Forecasting during Ice Jam Release Surge Events
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)Ice jam release surges present a unique challenge to the flood forecaster, since the surge released when an ice jam fails is highly dynamic in nature and, therefore, traditional hydrologic flood routing techniques are ... -
Upstream Effects of Cazenovia Creek Ice-Control Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003)An ice-control structure (ICS) for Cazenovia Creek in West Seneca, N.Y., will arrest a breakup ice run and hold the resulting ice jam throughout typical breakup events. While this will reduce downstream flood damages, water ... -
Changing of the Guard
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003) -
Snow Event Effects on Interstate Highway Crashes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This study compares snow event and equivalent nonsnow interstate vehicular crash rates and investigates weather-related elements that may contribute to crash occurrence during snow events. Vehicular crashes reported in the ... -
Bucket Foundation Platforms Installed in Shallow and Ice-Drifting Area
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Two monopod bucket foundation platforms were installed in 1997 in a shallow water area of the Bohai Sea, where the drifting ice is a dominant factor in platform design. This paper describes the design, installation, and ... -
Tunneling System for the South Pole
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Tunnels have long been a part of specialized facilities found in Greenland and Antarctica. The low temperatures, severe windchill, drifting snow, and prolonged darkness these facilities experience necessitates the use of ... -

Assessing Frost Resistance of Concrete Aggregates in Minnesota
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This study was undertaken to identify test procedures capable of reliably assessing concrete aggregate freeze-thaw durability and establish appropriate acceptance criteria for the same. Highway condition surveys were ... -
Theoretical Development of Forces on Cylindrical Ice Booms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper presents generic equations and analyses of a cylindrical pontoon boom's capacity to retain ice. The presentation arises out of actual booms deployed on the St. Lawrence River downstream of Montreal but are valid ... -
Behavior of the Working Fluid in Mechanized Support in Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper summarizes the results of an investigation of mechanized support under permafrost conditions. The present paper analyzes mechanized support behavior under subzero temperatures. The influence of cooling of the ... -
Extreme-Value Climatology of Maximum Soil Freezing Depths in Contiguous United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Extreme-value statistics for the maximum depth of soil freezing are developed based on a physical soil freezing model and a semiphysical soil water budgeting scheme. The model uses only daily air temperature, snow depth, ... -
Resilient Properties of Unbound Road Materials during Seasonal Frost Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)During recent decades, a considerable amount of research has been devoted to the resilient properties of unbound road materials. However, the severe effects of cold region climates on resilient behavior have been less ... -
Laboratory Study on Dispersant Effectiveness in Alaskan Seawater
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The objective of this project was to test dispersant effectiveness in the laboratory under conditions relevant to Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska. Two laboratory testing methods were used to compare a range of test ... -
Impacts of Dam Removal on Riverine Ice Regime
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)The impact of dam removal on the ice regime of northern rivers has largely been ignored in the recent push for removal of dams to restore or improve aquatic habitat. However, dam removal may have significant impacts on the ... -
Ice Adhesion to Locks and Dams: Past Work; Future Directions?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Adhesion of ice to surfaces creates problems for many industries, including aviation, hydropower, telecommunications, navigation, electrical distribution, and all forms of transportation. Specific problems at locks and ... -
Index for Estimating Physical and Mechanical Parameters of Model Ice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)A series of experiments on the physical and mechanical properties of ethanol model ice were conducted to determine the basis for quality control of fine grain model ice. The measured physical parameters of the model ice ... -
Laboratory Observations of Ice Jams in Channel Confluences
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Presented here are detailed descriptions of ice-jam processes at river-channel confluences. The descriptions are based on observations obtained from a small-scale hydraulic model of variable geometry and on field observations ... -
River-Ice Ecology. I: Hydrologic, Geomorphic, and Water-Quality Aspects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)River ice is an integral and important component of the flow regime in cold-regions environments. From a hydrologic perspective, it is known to produce many extremes, such as low-flows and floods, that far exceed those ...
