The concrete-face rockfill dam of the 5,000MW Xingo Hydroelectric Project in Brazil, is at the bidding stage at the present time. The dam has a maximum height of 460 ft (140m) and the...
Seasonal Restrictions on Bucket Dredging Operations
Seasonal restrictions are sometimes imposed on bucket dredging operations in response to concerns for potential impacts of sediment resuspension on various biological resources. The available...
Characterization of Offshore and Coastal Ice Conditions
Seasonal sea ice conditions typical of nearshore coastal zones are reviewed. Prominent ice features influencing design ice conditions for offshore structures are described. This paper...
Productivity on the Construction Site
On-site productivity in construction rose dramatically in the years after World War II as tasks were mechanized and larger equipment introduced. But in the past 10 years, that had gone...
Yukon River to Prudhoe Bay Highway � Lessons in Arctic Design and Construction
Construction of roads on muskeg over perennially frozen subsoils is becoming increasingly common in the arctic and subarctic regions of North America due to recent emphasis on development...
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...
