River and Lake Ice Engineering


Book Description




An Introduction to River Ice Engineering


Book Description

River ice affects most streams in the northern hemisphere for several months each winter and is often responsible for severe floods and infrastructure damage. Consequently, an understanding of river ice processes and hydraulics is essential for civil engineers who are involved in designing engineering works in and around natural streams. This book offers knowledge and advice on river ice process and hydraulics and is designed to be both an educational tool for civil engineers having no previous knowledge of river ice, as well as a handbook for practitioners seeking specific techniques for monitoring and analysis of rivers affected by ice.

Ice Engineering


Book Description

This manual presents guidance for the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of ice control and ice suppression measures. All Corps of Engineer projects subjected to freezing temperatures have ice problems such as: ice buildup on lock walls, hydropower intakes, and lock approaches; accumulation in navigation channels; ice passage over spillways that scours the downstream channel; and ice damage to shore structures and shoreline, etc. The Army Corps of Engineers experience in ice engineering is applicable to much civilian civil engineering, and ice control measures should be considered for both new and existing projects to improve their operation and safety in cold regions. This manual discusses ice formation processes, physical properties and potential solutions to associated problems.
