Download Cold-climate Buildings Design Guide Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Buildings in arctic and subarctic climates face unique challenges, not only the cold,but also remoteness, limited utilities, permafrost, and extreme temperature shifts.Built structures must meet these challenges while maintaining occupant comfort and, ifpossible, minimizing impact on the environment. Harmonizing human comfort with theclimatic realities of these environments can be a delicate balancing act. Strategic designis key to building, commissioning, and operating efficient and long-lasting cold-climatestructures. This unified guide to cold-climate design provides expert knowledge on theissues commonly faced in arctic and subarctic climates.In addition to cold-climate considerations in HVAC calculations and system design, this book¿s chapters cover sustainability, controls, building design, and commissioning, all from this distinctive climatic perspective. The book also includes an appendix with seven case studies of buildings located in cold and extreme cold climates. These buildings are leaders in their field with regard to both efficiency and cold-climate design.Aimed at each member of the building team, from the designer and architect to thecommissioning authority, Cold-Climate Buildings Design Guide will serve as a valuableresource from the initial planning to completion of cold-climate buildings.

As a rule, during the winter, the fill should be built up from loose soils. The use of cohesive soils is basically possible, but always involves considerable difficulties. In those cases when supersaturated loose soils are used for constructing fill, the established standards for density can not be achieved. As a result of the inadequate compaction of soils and their excessive wetting, such embankments become unstable when exposed to freeze-thaw cycles. Their stability is manifested in the fact that the frost upheavals of the roadbed surface exceeds the tolerable limits causing stresses and disruptions to appear in the road coverings built on the roadbed.

Download Foundations of Structures in Cold Regions Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The monograph describes the various kinds of foundations used for structures on permafrost with a brief discussion of foundations in areas of seasonal frost. Special attention is given to piled foundations in permafrost and the design of ventilation systems for controlling thaw under heated buildings. Appendixes outline techniques for computing the depth of freezing or of thawing, the design of refrigeration systems for artificial freezing, and the recommended procedure in the USSR for static pile tests. Included in the main text are 51 figures and 62 selected references. (Author).
