Summary:

Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Cold Regions Engineering, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, July 19-22, 2015. Sponsored by the Cold Regions Engineering Division of ASCE. This collection contains 55 peer-reviewed papers addressing the challenges of developing and maintaining resilient infrastructure in cold climates. In addition to issues and solutions related to the built environment, the papers also provide a deeper understanding of the processes of freezing and thawing as they occur in the surrounding natural environment. This collection contains 55 peer-reviewed papers addressing the challenges of developing and maintaining resilient infrastructure in cold climates. In addition to issues and solutions related to the built environment, the papers also provide a deeper understanding of the processes of freezing and thawing as they occur in the surrounding natural environment. This proceedings will be of interest to engineers, researchers, and government officials working in all areas of civil engineering in cold regions across the world.
