      Azita Azarnejad; Thomas G. Brown (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      This paper summarizes the results of a series of punch tests conducted on freshwater ice rubble at the University of Calgary. The main objective of the tests was to approximate the in situ punch tests in such a manner that ...

    • Experimental Investigation on Compressive Strength of Frozen Soil versus Strain Rate 

      Hongsheng Li; Haitian Yang; Cheng Chang; Xioutang Sun (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)
      This paper describes an experimental investigation on the compressive strength of frozen soil versus strain rate. The relationship of compressive strength and temperature and strain-rate are examined within certain ranges ...

    • Bohai Sea Ice Monitoring Using Satellite Images 

      Jianqiang Liu; Runheng Huang; Zhengang Jin; Kuiqiao Wu; Congrong Sun (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
      Sea ice monitoring and forecasting in the Bohai Sea is an operational task of the National Research Center for Marine Forecasts (NRCMEF), China. An overview of current satellite image receiving and processing systems at ...

    • Ice-Induced Jacket Structure Vibrations in Bohai Sea 

      Qianjin Yue; Xiangjun Bi (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
      Full-scale tests of ice-structure interaction were conducted on three multileg jacket platforms in Bohai Sea. Two of them were installed with ice-breaking cones on each of their four legs to reduce ice force and mitigate ...

    • Thermal Insulation Systems for Bioremediation in Cold Regions 

      Dennis M. Filler; Robert F. Carlson (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
      Bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils in cold regions is hampered by low temperatures, frozen soils, and short summers. Extreme environmental conditions limit remedial efforts to a few technologies. Bioventing and ...

    • Freezing Temperatures of Freely Falling Industrial Wastewater Droplets 

      W. Gao; D. W. Smith; D. C. Sego (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
      Spray freezing technology has been used in ice building construction in cold regions and artificial snow making. The spray freezing process involves heat and mass transfer and ice nucleation. The freezing temperature of ...

    • Unfrozen Water in Freezing and Thawing Soils: Kinetics and Correlation 

      Faruk Civan (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
      The experimental data indicate that water in freezing or thawing wet soils undergoes a gradual phase change. The mathematical forms of reported correlations of the unfrozen water content of soils varies from researcher to ...

    • Method for Estimating Sediment Transport in Ice-Covered Channels 

      R. Ettema; F. Braileanu; M. Muste (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
