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.
