An Introduction to River Ice Engineering: for Civil Engineers and Geoscientists

by Faye Hicks

River ice affects most streams in the northern hemisphere for several months each winter and is often responsible for severe floods and infrastructure damage. Consequently, an understanding of river ice processes and hydraulics is essential for civil engineers who are involved in designing engineering works in and around natural streams. This book offers knowledge and advice on river ice process and hydraulics and is designed to be both an educational tool for civil engineers and geoscientists having no previous knowledge of river ice, as well as a handbook for practitioners seeking specific techniques for monitoring and analysis of rivers affected by ice.
