This collection contains 92 papers presented at the 11th International Conference on Cold Regions Engineering, held in Anchorage, Alaska, May 20-22, 2002.

Intended to introduce the special principles and practices needed for successful design and construction in cold environments, this comprehensive text examines the adaptation of engineering specialties and disciplines to the particular requirements caused by freezing temperatures. Each chapter includes a section of "First Principles" providing fundamental analysis of cold regions problems. Soil mechanics, hydraulics, thermodynamics, and heat flow are covered in detail.

Written as a reference on effective engineering practice for construction activities in Arctic and Sub-Arctic regions. It is based on many sources around the world including the Soviet Union and China where people live and work in very low temperatures. Provides a broad look at overall problems found by engineers, contractors and builders, including case histories that illustrate actual projects throughout the cold regions of the world.

Frozen Ground Engineering first introduces the reader to the frozen environment and the behavior of frozen soil as an engineering material. In subsequent chapters this information is used in the analysis and design of ground support systems, foundations, and embankments. These and other topics make this book suitable for use by civil engineering students in a one-semester course on frozen ground engineering at the senior or first-year-graduate level. Students are assumed to have a working knowledge of undergraduate mechanics (statics and mechanics of materials) and geotechnical engineering (usual two-course sequence). A knowledge of basic geology would be helpful but is not essential. This book will also be useful to advanced students in other disciplines and to engineers who desire an introduction to frozen ground engineering or references to selected technical publications in the field. BACKGROUND Frozen ground engineering has developed rapidly in the past several decades under the pressure of necessity. As practical problems involving frozen soils broadened in scope, the inadequacy of earlier methods for coping became increasingly apparent. The application of ground freezing to geotechnical projects throughout the world continues to grow as significant advances have been made in ground freezing technology. Freezing is a useful and versatile technique for temporary earth support, groundwater control in difficult soil or rock strata, and the formation of subsurface containment barriers suitable for use in groundwater remediation projects.

Highlights newest design and construction techniques giving guidance on such topics as ice forces on structures, snow and icing problems, earthworks and foundation construction in permafrost, special design considerations for seasonal frost areas, moisture and condensation control, protection of underground utility lines, and construction during winter in arctic and subarctic regions.
