Longitudinal Dispersion in Ice-Covered Rivers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Longitudinal dispersion is the spreading of suspended or dissolved substances caused by the combined action of differential advection and lateral mixing. Tracer tests in many rivers under open-water conditions have indicated ... -
Ice-Tank Data on Brash-Ice Loads against Barges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Brash ice commonly covers ice-covered navigation channels in rivers, waterways, and harbors. Barges, therefore, frequently encounter it. This paper presents ice-tank observations and data indicating the levels of resistance ... -

PCC Airfield Pavement Response during Thaw-Weakening Periods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A field study was performed at two regional airports in Wisconsin during spring thaw to determine its effects on portland cement concrete (PCC) airport pavements. This study was part of a research program to model the ... -
Recent Progress in River Ice Engineering Research at CRREL
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper reviews and summarizes the results of the research and development efforts in river ice engineering conducted at the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory over the past decade and their ... -
Predicting Frost Heave Using FROST Model with Centrifuge Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The FROST numerical model was used to predict frost heave developing in centrifuge soil models. When uncalibrated predictions of heave using Gardner's coefficients were selected from accompanying FROST documentation based ... -
Field-Scale In-Situ Compliance of Arctic First-Year Sea Ice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper presents the experimental results and analysis of the creep recovery and cyclic loading crack-opening-displacement measurements recorded on level first-year sea ice at Barrow, Alaska. This was the third of a ... -
Site Investigations of Fuel Spill Migration into Permafrost
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In the summers of 1995 and 1996 subsurface investigations were conducted to examine the vertical migration of petroleum hydrocarbons into the permafrost at two different sites in the Canadian Arctic where fuel spills had ... -
Structural Ice Control: A Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)This paper reviews the state of the art in structural ice control, addressing the ranges as well as the limitations of ice retention methods in use today. Structural techniques are grouped according to the main purposes ... -

Frost Susceptibility of Crushed Glass Used as Construction Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)The frost susceptibility for 100% glass cullet specimens and 30% by weight glass cullet-aggregate specimens was determined using ASTM D 5918. The cullet has negligible to very low frost susceptibility, and it did not ... -
Pyrolysis-GC/MS Analysis of Contaminated Soils in Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In Alaska, the procedures used to quantify petroleum in organic soil are complicated by the presence of natural organic matter (NOM). A percentage of what appears to be contamination in some soil samples is actually NOM. ... -

Thermal Ice Growth: Real-Time Estimation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)The quasi-steady thermal ice growth model was recast in state-space form and used with the Kalman filter to estimate ice thickness and to recursively estimate the model parameters for thermal ice growth. This approach was ... -
Prediction of Pavement Response during Freezing and Thawing Using Finite Element Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Although elastic multilayer techniques for pavement analysis have become increasingly popular through advances in software and personal computers, the difficulties of such methods in representing dynamic loading, pavement ... -
Low-Cost Ice-Control Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Communities located on small, northern rivers can experience severe breakup ice jams. While flood damages may be significant locally, they are often insufficient to justify the cost of conventional flood-control structures. ... -
Low Temperature Strength and Notch Sensitivity of Glass Mat Polypropylene
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Literature on the effects of lowered temperature on the toughness of random short fiber composites have neither offered a clear trend nor explained the mechanisms of failure. In this work, unnotched and notched strengths ... -
Modeling Ice Passage at Starved Rock Lock and Dam on Illinois Waterway
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Ice conditions hamper winter navigation on major U.S. waterways. Accumulations of broken ice in the upstream approaches to locks and dams can interfere with lock operations and hydropower production. Conveying this ice ... -
Evaluation of Bioremediation in Cold Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)Biological treatment has become increasingly popular as a remediation method for soils and ground water contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbon, chlorinated solvents, and pesticides. Bioremediation has been considered for ... -
Feasibility Study on Freeze/Thaw Conditioning of Pulp Mill Waste Activated Sludge
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1997)A preliminary investigation has been performed to determine the feasibility of conditioning a sulfite pulp mill waste activated sludge (WAS) by freezing and thawing. A series of experiments quantifying dewaterability was ...
