Frost Action in a Hydrophobic Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Two series of reversed freezing tests were performed on two hydrophobic and two hydrophilic particulate materials. The tests were conducted to study the role of the adsorbed water film in the freezing and heavy process. ... -
Closure to “Temperature‐Independent Relationships for Frozen Soils” by H. Wijeweera and R. C. Joshi (March, 1992, Vol. 6, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993) -
Impact and Flexure Properties of Glass/Vinyl Ester Composites in Cold Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Despite the increasing use of composites in “high technology” areas, these advanced materials are still seldom used in areas like construction, offshore structures, structures in cold regions, and for marine applications. ... -
New Course in Management of Cold Regions Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A new graduate course in cold regions construction management was offered for the first time at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in the spring semester 1992. Students prepared and presented written and oral reports on: ... -
Swelling Behavior of Shales in Cold Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Shale has long been recognized for its tendency to absorb moisture and swell when water is available. In cold regions, the interaction of moisture with exposed shale strata is complicated due to the phase change from liquid ... -
Effects of Commercial Vessel Passage in Narrow Channels with and without Ice Cover
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Two different models were used to simulate the influence of commercial vessels transiting narrow‐cross‐sectional channels in the presence and absence of ice. Models were developed by two contracted groups using hydraulic ... -
Performance Evaluation of Constructed Wetland Treatment System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)The objectives of this study were to determine effective vegetation species that had the ability and efficiency to improve the effluent quality of an existing wastewater wetland treatment system. Channels were constructed ... -
Safety and Service Life of Equipment Designed for Cold Climate Operation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Developing improved technology for operation of machines and equipment subjected to extreme cold is addressed in an organized manner in Russia. The Institute of Physical‐Technical Problems of the North, in Yakutsk, Sakha, ... -
Discussion of “<i>Design of Piles in Permafrost under Combined Lateral and Axial Load</i>” by A. Foriero and B. Ladanyi (September, 1991, Vol. 5, No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992) -
Winter Operability: Equipment Problems and Their Remedies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Automotive and construction equipment manufactured for the American market is designed for temperate conditions and is seldom suitable for use at low temperatures without modifications of the lubrication schedule and ... -
Fracture Mechanics in Modeling of Icebreaking Capability of Ships
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The basis of the present paper is the approach suggested previously by the writers. By matching inner and outer solutions, a separate modeling of the deformation and fracture processes in stressed ice covers, taking into ... -
Ice Loads on Vertical Bridge Pier at Two Different Model Scales
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)Physical model tests in ice are performed at two different model scales with a tender design bridge pier for the Great Belt West Bridge in Denmark. The 6.6‐km‐long West Bridge constitutes the western part of the 18‐km‐long ... -
Closure to “<i>Design of Piles in Permafrost under Combined Lateral and Axial Load</i>” by A. Foriero and B. Ladanyi (September, 1991, Vol. 5, No. 3)

Pressure of Crushed Ice as Mohr‐Coulomb Material against Flat, Axisymmetric Indentor
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)The pressure exerted on an axisymmetric indentor by a thin layer of crushed ice modeled as a Mohr‐Coulomb material is solved approximately, resulting in a closed‐form solution that is shown to hold for plane strain situations ... -
Proportional Strain Tests of Fresh‐Water Ice Rubble
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Fresh‐water ice rubble was tested under proportional displacement rates in a plane‐strain apparatus. Stress‐strain relationships and values of the mobilized angle of internal friction were determined for a range of strain ... -
Cold Region Logistics Planning and Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)A successful cost‐effective exploratory operation in a remote, harsh (cold) climate is largely dependent upon the attention given to logistics managements and planning. Since the discovery of oil and other mineral resources ... -
Design Method for Frozen‐Soil Retaining Wall
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)A design method for a frozen‐soil retaining wall is presented based on the flexural theory. The method assumes that the frozen wall behaves as a cantilever retaining wall under lateral earth pressure. Because of the complex ... -
Model Study of Cable‐Moored Conical Platform
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)Cable‐moored platforms may be an attractive engineering approach to the problem of conducting engineering activities such as drilling in moderately deep (20–70 m) ice‐covered waters. However, the dynamic performance of ... -
Estimating Thaw‐Strain Settlement of Frozen Fill
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)In fill that is frozen, ice acts as a lightweight solid and occupies space that would otherwise be a void or filled with soil particles. Therefore, a fill's dry density (density of solid particles) will decrease as ice ... -
Effects of Ice Layer on Hydrodynamic Pressure of Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1993)The horizontal earthquake‐induced hydrodynamic pressure acting on the surface of axisymmetric offshore and coastal structures constructed in the freeze area is explored by a special semianalytical and seminumerical approach. ...
