Improved Techniques for Construction of Snow Roads and Airstrips
Author: Sung M. Lee
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Antarctica
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Rammsonde profile measurements and surface strength (Clegg impact) tests were conducted at selected sites in Antarctica on the snow roadways between McMurdo Station and Williams Field as well as on the aircraft skiway. Rammsonde measurements were also made at several points on the South Pole Station and South Pole Stations. The purpose of the snow pit work was to investigate possible correlation between Rammsonde hardness data of the snowpack and the snow characterization data consisting of profiles of temperature, density, stratification, grain size, and metamorphic state. California bearing ratio (CBR) testing, to supplement previous work, was done in a laboratory coldroom at Michigan Technological University using snow that had been harvested near Houghton, Michigan, during the winter of 1985-86. A report on this will be published separately. The samples were prepared in a compaction machine and tested after sintering times of 7, 14 and 21 days at -10 C.A field test was conducted in Houghton with binder/additive-snow mixes in situ. Keywords: Aircraft skiways, Antarctica, Snow roads, Snow runways, Field tests. (SDW).

Handbook on Geopolitics and Security in the Arctic
Author: Joachim Weber
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030450058
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Against the backdrop of climate change and tectonic political shifts in world politics, this handbook provides an overview of the most crucial geopolitical and security related issues in the Arctic. It discusses established shareholder's policies in the Arctic – those of Russia, Canada, the USA, Denmark, and Norway – as well as the politics and interests of other significant or future stakeholders, including China and India. Furthermore, it explains the economic situation and the legal framework that governs the Arctic, and the claims that Arctic states have made in order to expand their territories and exclusive economic zones. While illustrating the collaborative approach, represented by institutions such as the Arctic council, which has often been described as an exceptional institution in this region, the contributing authors examine potential resource and power conflicts between Arctic nations, due to competing interests. The authors also address topics such as changing alliances between Arctic nations, new sea lines of communication, technological shifts, and eventually the return to power politics in the area. Written by experts on international security studies and the Arctic, as well as practitioners from government institutions and international organizations, the book provides an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in geopolitical shifts and security issues in the High North.

Roads and Airfields in Cold Regions
Author: Ted S. Vinson
Publisher: ASCE Publications
ISBN: 9780784474129
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This state-of-the-practice report on the design and development of roads and airfields is the eighth monograph in a series prepared by the Technical Council on Cold Regions Engineering of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Previous reports in the series covered such topics as frost action and its control embankment design, and arctic coastal processes. This book discusses such topics as: 1) Route-location/siting; 2) frost action; 3) design for permafrost conditions; 4) low temperature cracking; 5) maintenance; 6) use of geosynthetics; and 7) materials specifications and testing. This monograph contributes a substantial amount of new material to the Cold Regions Engineering series.
