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.

Introductory technical guidance for civil, mechanical and electrical engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in cold regions engineering. Here is what is discussed: 1. FOUNDATIONS IN REGIONS OF SIGNIFICANT FROST PENETRATION 2. PAVEMENT DESIGN IN SEASONAL FROST CONDITIONS 3. ROAD DESIGN FOR COLD REGIONS 4. UTILIDORS 5. WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT 6. WATER DISTRIBUTION.

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in engineering for a variety of infrastructure projects in cold regions. Here is what is discussed: Foundations, Pavement, Roads, Utility Distribution, Wastewater Collection and Treatment, and Water Distribution.

This collection contains more than 80 papers presents at the 10th International Conference on Cold Regions Engineering, held in Lincoln, New Hampshire, August 16-19, 1999.

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.
