Engineering and Design Ice Engineering
“Engineering and Design Ice Engineering” by U. S. Army Corps of Engineers is a comprehensive manual published by the University Press of the Pacific in 2005. This 396-page book is presented in English and delves into the challenges posed by ice in hydraulic projects subjected to freezing temperatures. It addresses issues such as ice buildup on lock walls and hydropower intakes, as well as the impacts of ice accumulation in navigation channels and on shore structures.
Readers will find detailed discussions on ice formation processes and physical properties, along with potential solutions to related problems. The manual is divided into three parts: the first focuses on ice control measures for new and existing projects, the second examines ice jams and flooding mitigation strategies, and the third addresses winter navigation on inland waterways, including river ice management studies and plans. This edition serves as a valuable resource for professionals in the fields of science, mechanics, and civil engineering, particularly those involved in hydraulics and technology.
Official synopsis Publisher
All hydraulic projects subjected to freezing temperatures have ice problems, such as: ice buildup on lock walls, hydropower intakes, and lock approaches; ice accumulation in navigation channels; ice passage over spillways that scours the downstream channels; and ice damage to shore structures and shorelines, etc. Therefore, ice control measures should be considered for both new and existing projects to improve operations and safety in cold regions. In Part I, this manual contains a discussion of ice formation processes, physical properties, and potential solutions to associated problems. Part II considers the problem of ice jams and ice jam flooding, and discusses a broad range of mitigation measures. Part III of this manual addresses the considerations that arise from winter navigation on inland waterways, including the conduct of river ice management studies and the preparation of river ice management plans.
