Small-Scale Hydro Power in Cold Climates
Small-scale hydro power is mostly developed under more pressing economical conditions than large hydro. It is therefore of great importance that the operation and maintenance costs are...
Frazil Ice Control Using Electromechanical Cibrators and Ice-Resistant Coatings
Two methods, using electromechanical vibrators and ice-resistant coatings, were studied in a small-scale test conducted at the U. S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory...
Fracture Control for Arctic Vessels and Structures
Materials used for construction of Arctic structures and vessels are exposed to low ambient temperatures, high local ice loads and intermediate to high loading rates. All these factors...
Sea Level Rise and Water Resources Management
Sea level rise due to greenhouse effect will create significant impacts on coastal water resources management. Possible future management strategies to offset salinity intrusion and to...
Performance of a Berm Roundhead in the St. George Breakwater System
A new harbor under construction on St. George Island in Alaska's Bering Sea is using the berm breakwater concept for protection from wave attack. Three breakwaters are included...
Berm Type Armor Protection for a Runway Extension at Unalaska, Alaska
A proposed runway extension located on the Aleutian islands was designed to withstand forces of Bering Sea storm generated waves using a unique armor protection concept. The proposed runway...
