This ice engineering guide is an aid to designers and builders of small craft harbors in northern climates. In these areas ice does great damage to structures. The guide has been prepared from a review of the technical literature, consultation with knowledgeable engineers, contractors, scientists, and field observations. It is applicable to lake ice in protected harbors. Information on the behavior and properties of ice and ice covers is presented. Descriptions of ice pressures of thermal origin and estimated thrusts on structures are given. The operation and design of compressed air suppression systems are explained. Safe bearing loads on ice sheets are estimated, as well as ice uplift loads for design. The information presented answers many questions about ice behavior and serves as a basis for innovative and economical small craft harbor design.

Marine Structures Engineering is designed to help engineers meet the growing worldwide demand for construction of new ports and the modernization of existing ports and terminals. It provides an authoritative guide to the design, construction, rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of port and harbor structures. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing readers to access specific information. The Author draws on his extensive experience in offshore structure and port engineering to demonstrate evaluation, rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance of in-service marine structures. Also covered in detail are state-of-the-art approaches to: *marine structures in cold regions, with special attention to the role of ice loads, permafrost, and other ice effects *shiplifts, marine railways, shipways, and dry docks *offshore moorings *floating breakwaters *marinas *structures that protect bridge piers from ship impact. Offering practical information on all aspects of marine structures, this book serves as an indispensable resource to all engineers and professionals involved in design, construction, maintenance, and modernization of ports and harbors.
