| Summary: | The literature reporting scientific and engineering investigations on ice has grown rapidly in the past 50 years, and increased by a factor of at least ten in the past 20 years. A review is presented of advances in engineering for ice problems during this period, including ice formation in rivers, lakes, and oceans; ice forces on structures; bearing capacity of ice covers; and atmospheric icing. The difficulties faced by engineers due to the unique physical and mechanical properties of ice and its normal thermal state are emphasized. La littérature faisant état des études scientifiques et techniques sur la glace s'est développée rapidement au cours des 50 dernières années; depuis vingt ans, son volume a été multiplié au moins par dix. L'auteur présente une synthèse des progrès techniques réalisés dans ce domaine au cours de cette période: formation de la glace dans les rivières, fleuves, lacs et océans; poussée des glaces sur les ouvrages; capacité portante des manteaux de glace; et givrage de l'atmosphère. Il décrit les difficultés que causent aux ingénieurs les propriétés physiques et mécaniques uniques de la glace et son régime thermique normal. Peer reviewed: Yes NRC publication: Yes |
