    • Design of Piles in Permafrost under Combined Lateral and Axial Load 

      A. Foriero; B. Ladanyi (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      The approach for designing a single vertically and laterally loaded pile rests primarily on the local moment capacity and on the overall instability of the pile section. Design codes generally recommend interaction formulas ...
    • Reviewers of the <i>Journal of Cold Regions Engineering</i> 

      Unknown author (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
    • Effect of Artificial Salting on Freezing Behavior of Silt Soil 

      Neil N. Eldin (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      The effect of artificial salting on the freezing behavior of a silt soil was investigated through open‐system unidirectional freezing tests. Specimens were prepared in 5‐cm‐by‐15‐cm segmented columns. Initial soil dry ...
    • Finite Element Analysis of Cold Embedments in Fresh Concrete 

      Daniel P. Swift; Jay A. Puckett; Thomas V. Edgar (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      Analytical and finite element analyses are used in parametric studies to determine if ice forms in freshly placed concrete along embedments initially at subfreezing temperatures. The ice thicknesses and time frozen are ...
    • Fracture Analysis of Ice Forces 

      A. S. Ayoub; T. G. Brown (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      The magnitude of the force acting on a structure during an ice‐structure interaction is obtained using an approach based on linear elastic fracture mechanics. The magnitude of the ice‐structure interaction force makes the ...
    • Reduction of Ice Thickness on Northern Water Reservoirs 

      S. J. Stanley; D. W. Smith (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      Many northern communities rely on open reservoirs as a water source during winter. In the north, open reservoirs can experience ice thicknesses of over 2 m, which can result in a loss in usable storage of up to 60% of the ...
    • Reactive Soil Pressures along Pile in Frozen Sand 

      L. Domaschuk; D. H. Shields; L. Fransson (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      A multistage, lateral, pile‐load creep test is carried out in a frozen sand maintained at
    • Microorganism Survival in Ice‐Covered Marine Environment 

      S. J. Stanley; D. W. Smith; G. D. Milne (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      The concentration of microorganisms in the vicinity of a submerged marine outfall is governed by dilution and decay processes. Dilution is a physical process related to the hydraulic characteristics of the site. Decay of ...
    • Temperature‐Independent Relationships for Frozen Soils 

      H. Wijeweera; R. C. Joshi (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      Constant strain‐rate and creep tests were conducted in uniaxial compression on saturated samples of six fine‐grained frozen soils at temperatures between
    • Reliability Analysis of Thaw‐Induced Pore Pressures 

      Sunirmal Banerjee; Bithin Datta (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      This paper presents an approach for incorporating reliability analysis in the prediction of excess pore pressures caused by thawing of frozen soils. The proposed approach is a risk‐based procedure that can be used to develop ...
    • Seasonal Soil Strength by Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves 

      Bernard D. Alkire (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1992)
      Spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW) is a nondestructive test technique that can be used to determine profiles of surface‐wave velocity versus depth. In this work, the technique is used to determine the wave‐velocity ...
    • Numerical Modeling of Structure‐Frozen Soil/Ice Interaction 

      U. G. A. Puswewala; R. K. N. D. Rajapakse (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)
      A finite element computer code is developed to analyze the creep deformation of frozen media by using a time‐incrementing algorithm and the power‐law constitutive model to describe creep. The accuracy of the code is ...
    • Agitation and Filterability of Freeze/Thawed Sludge 

      P. Aarne Vesilind; Wen‐Yea Hung; C. James Martel (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      Particle size has opposing effects on the effectiveness of freeze/thaw sludge conditioning. Small particles migrate easily and coagulate into larger particles during freezing, but small particles also cause poor sludge ...
    • Model Pile‐Settlement Behavior in Frozen Sand 

      David L. Stelzer; Orlando B. Andersland (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
      Small cyclic loads, superimposed on a static load, will significantly increase settlement rates of friction piles embedded in frozen ground. An experimental study involving model steel piles with controlled surface geometry ...
    • Slope Stability in Arctic Surface Mines 

      Mrituiyoy Sengupta; Nils I. Johansen; Alok K. Sinha (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1990)
      In surface mines in the arctic, frozen ground adds complexity to the conventional approaches to slope-stability analysis. Stability of mine slopes depend on geological structures, geotechnical properties, ground-water ...
    • Flexural Strength of Sand‐Reinforced Ice 

      W. A. Nixon; L. J. Weber (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1991)
