The tapping of fossil fuels in the cold regions of North America has necessitated the design and construction of new roads, airfields, pipelines and numerous additional structures. Unfortunately, many engineers don't have ready access to basic data and an understanding of the thermal concepts and soil systems that relate to building in such non-temperate zones. Many cold climate construction projects actually risk failure because they are based on thermal principles intended for warmer climates.
For the first time in one comprehensive volume, solutions to problems of heat transfer in cold regions are finally available to assist you in both designing and understanding future construction. Heat Transfer in Cold Climates describes and explains correct applications of thermal principles while integrating mechanical and civil engineering approaches useful in designing all your cold climate projects.
