Pipelines in Permafrost and Freezing Ground is a fourteen-volume book
set, with CD-ROM, that details concepts associated with the design and
operation of cold climate infrastructure (e.g. - natural gas pipelines)
in terrain subjected to seasonal freezing and permafrost affected by
climate change. This resource is currently in its final printing.
The main focus of the book set is the interdependence between cold
climate infrastructure and the behavior of freezing soils and
permafrost. Other concepts and challenges discussed include soil strain
and creep, frost heave and bulb growth, thaw consolidation, pipeline
relaxation, pressure, bending stresses in buried pipelines, uplift
resistance, and the thermal, mechanical, hydraulic, and
micromorphological properties of freezing soils and permafrost.
This book set comes with a CD-ROM, which contains a database on
infrastructure in permafrost and freezing ground. Engineers and
scientists can use the database for the assessment and design of cold
climate infrastructure.
Academic Pricing: $1495.00, final printing available November 2009
Permafrost Environmental Consulting has also just released a
twelve-volume book set and CD-ROM database entitled Contaminants in
Permafrost and Freezing Ground. The main focus of the book set is the
behavior of contaminants in the Arctic. It provides engineers and
geoscientists with the tools necessary to carry out an in-depth
examination of the behavior of contaminants in freezing ground and
permafrost-affected soils. This environmental resource library and
accompanying database provide the resources necessary for development of
strategies for contaminated site management, including technology and
remediation procedures.
Academic Pricing: $1295.00, next printing available January 2010
