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.

Topics include: buildings and bridges; hydraulics and hydrology; pavement materials, structures, and maintenance; frozen soil properties, ground characterization, and frost heave; embankments and foundations; utilities and energy; and construction and logistics.

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.
