However, little engineering experience was available in this regard.This book uniquely relates the human history and the technical innovations developed in this harsh environment through research, testing, and applying many existing engineering principles to ice structure analysis. It offers essential insights into the history of ice engineering for designers, university educators and postgraduate students. While other studies detail research and testing in the laboratory, this text relates the testing, development, construction and use of ice in real construction conditions.Civil engineeringTechnological innovationsElectronic books.Civil engineeringTechnological innovations.624.0684Masterson Dan1934-1049604MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466650903321The story of offshore arctic engineering2478770UNINA
