Ice Pressure on Engineering Structures


Book Description

The monograph summarizes existing knowledge on forces exerted by an expanding ice sheet, impact forces of ice on structures, and vertical forces exerted by ice on hydraulic structures. Sections are also devoted to icebreakers and ice models. (Author).







Ice Cap Strains and Some Effects on Engineering Structures


Book Description

The components of strain for the upper layers of ice sheets are given in terms of ice flow velocity and snow accumulation rate. Methods of estimating the components of strain rate which are necessary for design of engineering structures are outlined, and representative measured values are given. The relation between observed structural deformation and ice cap straining is discussed. (Author).







Cold Region Structural Engineering


Book Description

Highlights newest design and construction techniques giving guidance on such topics as ice forces on structures, snow and icing problems, earthworks and foundation construction in permafrost, special design considerations for seasonal frost areas, moisture and condensation control, protection of underground utility lines, and construction during winter in arctic and subarctic regions.







Ice Mechanics and Risks to Offshore Structures


Book Description

' This is a book for which Arctic ice engineers and scientists have been waiting for years. It is the first reference text to deal in a comprehensive way with ice loads on marine structures. It is also written in a clear and attractive style and it is a pleasure to read. ' Polar Record




Ice Loads on Bridge Piers


Book Description

"A great deal of information has been published in the last decade concerning ice forces. Unfortunately, very little has been published in journals that are regularly read by civil engineers and, in particular, bridge engineers. As a result, many bridge engineers who are concerned with the action of ice on bridge structures are unaware of its existence. Most of the material contained herein has been extracted from papers or proceedings of specialty conferences or reports of research agencies. The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the problem and to bring together in one publication a state-of-the-art review of factors and phenomena which are significant to the ice force problems as they relate to the design of bridge piers"--Page 3-4
