Heave Compensated Landing System - A Novel Tool for Subsea Intervention
This paper presents a new intervention system that allows the use of a low cost workboat to deploy and recover delicate payloads in subsea installations. Vessel motions are decoupled from the subsea package...
Frozen Ground Engineering
This new edition gives a peerless presentation of soil mechanics for frozen ground conditions and a variety of frozen ground support systems used on construction project worldwide. An...
Innovative Design and Construction for Foundations and Substructures Subject to Freezing and Frost
This proceedings,
So Your Home Is Built on Expansive Soils
Prepared by the Shallow Foundations Committee of the Geotechnical Division of ASCE. This report assists homeowners in understanding why expansive soils...
A Frost Protection Design for Fruit Trees in Southwest Colorado
The project explores the feasibility of producing commercial quantities of fruit in the high and arid environment of Southwestern Colorado by using low-volume water delivery systems for...
Experimental Study of Adfreeze Heaving of Augered Caisson Footings
In order to establish the required depth of augered caisson-type footings in cold regions and their optimal design against adfreeze heaving, an experimental field investigation has been...
Numerical Analysis of Frost Shields
The term 'frost sheilding' has been used to describe the practice of using flat stock rigid insulation materials burial above a water or sewer pipe to reduce...
Use of Rigid Insulation Below Grade for Roadways and Parking Areas
Minnesota Power's Herbert Service Center is located 3 miles north of downtown Duluth, Minnesota. The facility, constructed in 1967, consists of primary buildings, cold storage...
Sprinkler System Design for Frost Protection
Both undertree and overtree systems for frost protection by sprinkling are currently being used. The criteria based on experimental results and theoretical modeling have been reviewed...
Accurate Computation of Freezing Index
'Freezing index' (cumulative degree-days below freezing) is used for predicting frost penetration depths and modelling pavement performance. Contour maps which illustrate geographic trends...
Microsilica (Silica Fume) Concrete Durability in Severe Environments
Microsilica (silica fume) concrete has provided increased durability in a variety of aggressive environments. Technical information is presented for microsilica concretes exposed to fire,...
Chemically Induced Foundation Heave
The Kerr-McGee Electrolysis Plant in Henderson, Nevada has had recorded upward movements of portions of the building in excess of 18 inches. Contours of the measured heave indicate that...
Pipeline Frost Heave Predictions Using a 2-D Thermal Model
Chilled structures founded on initially unfrozen soils cause a zone or 'bulb' of frost to develop with time. This time period may be of seasonal duration, as...
Guideway and Conductor Rail Heating for a Winter Environment
The power and signal conducting rails are maintained using self-limiting heat trace cable in combination with an inherently protected rail. The cable's high inrush power along...
Frost Action and Its Control
This state-of-the-art review addresses, in four separate papers, frost heave processes and their control. A review of the fundamental principles of soil freezing and thawing is presented...
Frost Heaves�� A Major Dilemma for Ice Arenas
The ice sheets of three arenas in Minneapolis-St. Paul have had frost heaves ranging from seven to eleven inches (0.2 to 0.3 m). Proper design should prevent frost from penetrating the...
