Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Cold Regions Engineering, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, July 19-22, 2015. Sponsored by the Cold Regions Engineering Division of ASCE. This collection contains 55 peer-reviewed papers addressing the challenges of developing and maintaining resilient infrastructure in cold climates. In addition to issues and solutions related to the built environment, the papers also provide a deeper understanding of the processes of freezing and thawing as they occur in the surrounding natural environment.

Sponsored by the Technical Council on Cold Regions Engineering of ASCE and the Cold Regions Engineering Division of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering. The concepts related to the design, construction, and operation of infrastructure components for the delivery of water, the removal of liquid and solid wastes, and the provision of power for services are relatively new in the extremely cold environment found in the far north or south. The objective of this monograph is to introduce the basic principles of cold region environmental engineering. While it does not cover the basics of the environmental engineering field, it does present a great deal of introductory information related to cold regions engineering and the special geotechnical considerations that influence the design of utilities systems. The book is divided into 17 different sections that cover such topics as: planning, geotechnical, and thermal considerations; water source development; water storage; wastewater collection; utilidors; central facilities; remote camps; fire protection; and energy management. This Monograph also contains appendices that provide additional information on piping options, vehicle-haul systems, snowdrifting and snow loads, and freeze protection.

This comprehensive text introduces the special principles and practices needed for successful design and construction in cold environments and explains how to adapt engineering specialties and disciplines to the particular requirements imposed 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. Topics include: principles of heat transfer; properties of frozen soils; freezing phenomena; roads and airfields; building foundations on permafrost; hydrology and hydraulics; water supply and delivery; sanitary systems and wastewater treatment; control of snow and ice; performance of materials in cold regions; equipment and operations; earthwork in cold regions; and site selection. This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students who intend to practice in cold regions. The book's practical content will be valuable to engineers who need to know the fundamental cold-regions requirements on topics that are not in their specialty areas.
