Cold Regions Science and Engineering Monograph
Author: Foundations of Structures in Cold Regions
Author: Frederick J. SangerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Building
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The monograph describes the various kinds of foundations used for structures on permafrost with a brief discussion of foundations in areas of seasonal frost. Special attention is given to piled foundations in permafrost and the design of ventilation systems for controlling thaw under heated buildings. Appendixes outline techniques for computing the depth of freezing or of thawing, the design of refrigeration systems for artificial freezing, and the recommended procedure in the USSR for static pile tests. Included in the main text are 51 figures and 62 selected references. (Author).
Water Supply in Cold Regions
Author: Amos J. AlterPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cold regions

Seismic Exploration in Cold Regions
Author: Hans RoethlisbergerPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Elastic waves
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The Monograph contains a comprehensive review of the use of seismic methods and related techniques based on elastic waves, to gain information on the geometry and physical properties of the substrata in cold regions, particularly snow, ice and frozen ground. Pertinent elastic properties of these materials are described and methods for determining seismic velocities are summarized. Theories and application of reflection and refraction soundings on glaciers, continental ice sheets, ice shelves, and frozen ground are reviewed. Surveys employing surface waves, and special application of elastic waves, are described. (Author).

Investigation and Exploitation of Snowfield Sites
Author: Malcolm MellorPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Building, Ice and snow
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
The document covers the site investigations and laboratoty tests in connection with construction on a permanent snowfield, and then deals with the technology of excavation and building where snow is almost the only constructional material. The author draws heavily on the work of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in the development of Camp Century and other projects on the Greenland ice sheet and shows the application of the techniques to Antarctic Research Stations.

Foundations and Subsurface Structures in Snow
Author: Malcolm MellorPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Building, Ice and snow
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
Various types of foundations suitable for use in very deep snow are described, and design principles are given. Dependence of settlement rate on heaving pressure, size and shape of foundation, snow temperature, and snow density is treated analytically, and field data from test procedures for foundation design are outlined. In treating the design of tunnels, shafts and subsurface structures in very deep snow, the distributions of stress, strain and displacement in polar ice sheets are first obtained analytically. Observed patterns of deformation are given for a variety of excavations and deformable structures, and methods of analysis are put forward. The loading of restraining structures is discussed, and finally some notes on the monitoring and maintenance of subsurface structures are given. (Author).
