Structural and Ice Effects on Salt Water Marsh Hydrology
This study focussed on a New England salt water marsh in which the construction of two drainage structures (culverts) have significantly affected the marsh hydraulics. The result is the...
Survival of Atlantic Salmon Smolts Bypassed Through Ice-Log Sluices Determined by the HI-Z Turb'N Tag
The HI-Z Turb'N Tag was used to assess injury and mortality incurred by Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) smolts bypassed through ice-log sluiceways at two stations. Both sluiceways were similar...
Anti-Icing...The Liquid Answer
In the fall of 1984, Great Salt Lake Minerals and Chemicals Corporation of Ogden, Utah (a major producer of Salt and Allied Chemicals) introduced their 'Alternative Deicers' to Washington...
Getting Ahead of Snow and Ice
Winter maintenance is not the same anymore. New weather forecasting technologies are permitting snow and ice fighters to better predict when unsafe winter weather conditions will occur....
Snow and Ice Control in Japan and United States
Both Japan and the United States experience severe winter conditions that require major resources and large expenditures for maintaining highways. The maritime climate that prevails in...
Size, Temperature and Rate Effects on the Fracture Toughness of Saline Ice
This paper presents the results of an extensive experimental study performed with the aim of investigating the effects of temperature, size and loading rate on the fracture toughness of...
Computation of Flow in Ice-Covered Dune-Bed Channels
A numerical method for solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations is developed to study the flow over sand dunes in two-dimensional channels. The method is applied to calculate...
Numerical Integration of Transient Creep Constitutive Equations for Polycrystalline Ice
A numerical time integration algorithm is developed to solved the system of coupled, first-order differential equations characterizing the physically-based constitutive model of Shyam...
A Discussion of the Numerical Modeling of Sea Ice Ridging
Pressure ridging, is the failure mechanism of the Arctic pack ice in compression. The large-scale compressive strength of the ice pack is determined by the aggregate of ridge building...
Lunar Farside, Mars Polar Cap, and Mercury Polar Cap Neutrino Experiments
Neutrino detection offers unusual Civil Engineering challenges for the inner Solar System, including: outposts and permanent bases on the Moon, a novel development within the polar caps...
In Situ Recovery of Water from Dormant Comet Cores & CI Carbonaceous Chondrites
Water and volatiles may be produced by drill holes into dormant comet cores or class CI or CM asteroids. This is modeled after in-situ mining as in the Frasch process sulfur mines of the...
Targeting of AgI in a Utah Winter Orographic Storm
A cooperative research program among the Utah Division of Water Resources, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Bureau of Reclamation has investigated targeting...
Safety Factors, Loads, and Impact
The loads given in this chapter are intended for general guidance only (including wind, ice, stream flow, etc.). Maximum deflections and rotations may likewise vary with national codes....
The Effect of Loading Rate on the Bending Strength of Alluvium Reinforced Ice
Traditional building materials are often less than ideal for construction in remote Arctic locations. Their mechanical properties may be degraded in extreme cold, and costs associated...
Processed-Snow Foundation Design at the Summit of the Greenland Ice Cap
The design and construction of a processed-snow foundation berm for an elevated building located at the summit of the Greenland Ice Cap is described. Weather conditions and design provisions...
River Ice Research in China
Hydraulic research in China has concentrated largely on free surface flows, sediment transport, large hydraulic structures, and hydraulic machinery. River ice research activities are expanding...
Evolution of Ice Cover Roughness
The formation of an ice cover on a river results in an increase of stage relative to open water stages at the same discharge. Due to the formation process, especially for freeze-up ice...
Ice Jam Configuration: Second Generation Model
An early model of ice jam configuration in wide, prismatic channels is generalized for applications to natural streams. Test runs are carried out to illustrate model performance and study...
Friction and Cohesion in Ice Rubble Reviewed
An argument is ventured that accumulations of ice rubble undergoing continuous shear deformation are essentially cohesionless. In terms of the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, therefore,...
Analysis of Waterbody Surface Heat Exchange
The Edinger-Duttweiler-Geyer (EDG) approach for estimating heat exchange at a water surface was examined and its applicability to ice-covered waterbodies determined. The EDG linearized...
