Bohai Sea Ice Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)Oil and gas exploration and production and other maritime activities are rapidly increasing in the Bohai Sea. Since sea ice occurs every winter in this region, it poses serious threats to these activities. The presence of ... -
Modeling and Forecasting of Bohai Sea Ice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)The sea ice model for simulating ice growth, decay, and drift in the Bohai Sea was developed based on the ice conditions in the Sea and on existing sea ice models. Both dynamic and thermodynamic processes of sea ice are ... -
Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in Upper Nainchu River Basin, Tibet
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A large outburst flood from a glacial terminal moraine lake can cause severe damage to downstream communities. This paper presents a study on the outbursts of glacial terminal moraine lakes in the upper Nainchu River basin ... -
Pyrolysis-GC/FID Test for Biogenic Interference in Contaminated Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)“Biogenic interference” is that portion of natural organic matter in soil that cannot be distinguished from petroleum in a standard test for contamination. Biogenic interference is normally a small fraction of total natural ... -

Performance Evaluation of Aerated Lagoon in Summer and Winter Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A 1-year study evaluated the performance of a full-scale aerated lagoon, located in a midwest community in the United States. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the lagoon under varied temperature ... -
Natural Freezing, Drying, and Composting for Treatment of Septic Sludge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A full-scale experimental plant intended for local treatment of septic sludge, situated in northern Sweden, is presented in this paper. The concept investigated included natural freezing, thawing, and drying in combination ... -
Comparison of ICEJAM and RIVJAM Ice Jam Profile Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A review and comparison of two numerical ice jam profile models is provided. The first is the RIVJAM model, developed at the National Water Research Institute in Canada. The second is the ICEJAM model, which was developed ... -
TLD Technique for Reducing Ice-Induced Vibration on Platforms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Tuned liquid damper (TLD) containers are designed to provide their sloshing forces in opposite directions against the inertia loads of the vibrating structure and thus to reduce the vibration. The sloshing forces that ... -
Ice-Cover Influence on Near-Field Mixing in Dune-Bed Channel: Numerical Simulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)This paper presents the results of a numerical-simulation investigation of ice-cover influence on the mixing and transport of a neutrally buoyant contaminant released in a straight reach of a dune-bed channel. The investigation ... -
Servo-Hydraulic Pin Loading Device (HPLD) for in Situ Ice Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A hydraulic test instrument has been designed and fabricated to perform fracture experiments on edge-cracked pin-loaded floating square plates of ice. Because ice has large grains relative to metals, large specimen sizes ... -
Field Testing of Stabilized Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Remediation of a Superfund site in Stratford, Conn., involved stabilization of the subgrade with portland cement. Part of the remediation site was to be used as a parking area. The stabilized soil was to be covered with ... -
Numerical Study of Ice Jam Dynamics in Upper Niagara River
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)A two-dimensional numerical model for the dynamics of surface ice transport and ice jam in rivers was developed and applied to the upper Niagara River. The model treats river ice dynamics as a two-layer system consisting ... -
Flexural Behavior of Model Sea Ice in a Centrifuge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)An experimental program was devised for the production of saline ice sheets in a centrifuge and the determination of flexural strength and elastic modulus of this ice through in situ cantilever beam testing. A cold box, ... -
Underground Leakage into Freezing Ground
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Certrifuge model tests are used to identify the path of dyed ethylene glycol (antifreeze) when it leaks from a cylinder buried in freezing or frozen silt at different times during the freezing cycle. The paths followed are ... -
Multiple Linear Regression for Lake Ice and Lake Temperature Characteristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1999)Lake ice and lake temperatures depend on climate and lake morphometry. Simulated lake ice and lake temperature characteristics of 10 large lakes in Minnesota were therefore related to climate parameters, geographic location, ... -
Review of <i>A Primer on Hydraulics of Ice Covered Rivers</i> Kersi S. Davar, Spyros Beltaos, and Bruce Pratte, eds.

Structural Ice Control Alternatives for Middle Mississippi River
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The middle Mississippi River, which extends from the mouth of the Missouri River near St. Louis to the confluence with the Ohio River at Cairo, Ill., is a critical navigation route throughout the year. During cold periods, ... -
Ice Thrust in Reservoirs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)We undertook a three-year program to measure the magnitude of static ice forces in four reservoirs located in central and northern Quebec. These static forces may be generated by a temperature change or may arise from such ...
