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.

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers, structural engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in design and construction of foundations for buildings and other infrastructure in arctic and subarctic regions. Topics discussed are selection of foundation type and control of heat transfer and degradation.

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.

This publication provides professional engineers, architects and construction managers with over 275 pages of technical guidance for the design and construction of buildings and related infrastructure in cold regions. Here is what is discussed: 1. FOUNDATIONS IN AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT FROST PENETRATION, 2. FREEZE/THAW IN SOILS: ONE DIMENSIONAL LINEAR HEAT FLOW, 3.
