Analytical Models of Local Concrete‐Steel Bond at Low Temperature
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Analytical models of local bond stress‐slip relationships are established based on an experimental program of 65 specimens in the temperature range between -
CO Modeling in Alaska
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)According to the Clean Air Act of 1970, maximum allowable ambient carbon monoxide (CO) levels are 9 ppm for eight hours and 35 ppm for one hour. The frequent violation of these standards in Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska, ... -

Discussion of “<i>Application of Fracture Mechanics to Ice/Structure Interactions</i>” by Wilfred A. Nixon (March, 1988, Vol. 2, No. 1)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989) -
Note on New Ice Gouge Events in Alaskan Beaufort Sea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A total of 454 and 2234 new ice gouges were recorded in 1984 and 1985 respectively in a 13.5 sq mi (35.0 sq km) area of the Beaufort Seabed. The new ice gouge data were analyzed statistically using the SAS software and the ... -
Note on Nearshore Ice Gouge Depths in Alaskan Beaufort Sea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The nearshore seabed of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea is annually disrupted and modified by ice keels. Intense gouging of the nearshore seabed is associated with ice keels driven by forces amassed from the encompassing ice pack. ... -
Cold Regions Environmental Engineering: Tomorrow's Challenges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The challenges of public health protection, natural environment protection, and preservation of aesthetics are changing faster for cold regions than for more temperate regions. The impact of the improved communications ... -
The History of Frost Research in Minnesota
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Frost research in Minnesota dates back to the late 1920s, when the Minnesota Highway Department investigated the causes of frost heaves and frost boils and methods of mitigating associated problems. State highway engineers ... -
Unconventional Power Sources for Ice Control at Locks and Dams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Assessed herein are the feasibilities of using several unconventional power sources for ice control in navigation locks and dams. Included in this assessment are sensible heat from groundwater, solar power, wind power and ... -
Strength Characteristics of Frozen Fox Gravel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)In contrast to data available on strength and deformation characteristics of frozen soils, frozen gravels have received relatively little attention. This seems to be related to fewer geotechnical projects conducted in ... -
Moisture Accumulation in Insulated Walls in Cold Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)A study to determine the amount of moisture that has accumulated in insulation systems in structures in cold regions is described and the data analyzed. The study region is interior Alaska. Moisture contents are found to ... -
Alaska's Infrastructure and Limits to Growth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Economic development and population movement in the United States have historically been linked to the development of infrastructure—for transportation and for power. Much of Alaska is currently undeveloped; thus, a critical ... -

Binders for Snow Roads and Runways in Antarctica
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The effects of adding wood as a binder material to snow is discussed in this paper. Wood/snow pavement test sections were constructed in the antarctic at two sites, McMurdo and Amundsen, Scott South Pole Stations. Temperature ... -
Geothermal Energy Applications in Wastewater Treatment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)An evaluation was conducted on the use of geothermal energy in wastewater treatment in the Canadian Prairie Provinces. The assessment included an analysis of geothermal energy costs, an examination of the effects of using ... -
Composite Icewall Design and Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)The principal objective of this study is to examine techniques for the analysis and design of composite icewalls for arctic offshore structures. Previous investigators have conducted numerous tests of composite beam specimens ... -
Efficiency of Detachable Platforms in the Arctic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1989)Design forces from iceberg impact have been established for detachable oil production platforms at two locations in the Davis Strait offshore western Greenland. Because of the large icebergs in the area, it is not feasible ... -
Frost Penetration and Thermal Regime in Dry Gravel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)The depth of frost and ground temperatures were monitored on a regular basis between 1983 and 1985 at 12 locations in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. The soil is dry gravel which has a moisture content of 1.5 to 4%. The ... -
Predicting Freezing Design Depth of Sludge‐Freezing Beds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1988)A sludge‐freezing bed is a new unit operation for dewatering sludges produced by water and wastewater treatment plants in cold regions. Sludge is applied to the bed in layers, where it is allowed to freeze naturally during ...
