In order to reduce early damage of bridge deck pavement concrete in cold regions, a certain content of nano-SiO2 is added into the concrete to enhance its durability. Through tests on four durability indexes, strength, frost resistance, resistance to Cl− ion permeability, and abrasion resistance of concrete with 1% nano-SiO2 content and concrete without nano-SiO2, the ability of nano-SiO2 to improve the concrete durability of bridge deck pavement is evaluated. The results of tests and analysis show that the incorporation of nano-SiO2 greatly improves the four durability indexes. Nano-SiO2 effectively absorbs the calcium hydroxide released early by the hydration of cement, increases the calcium silicate hydrate content, and elevates the interface between the paste and aggregate of the hardened cement, which improves the durability of the concrete.

Capacitance between a slider and disk was measured to relate slider/disk interplanar separation to static friction. The parallel plate capacitance formula was used to convert the capacitance into separation with a resolution of less than 1 nm. Separation and coefficient of static friction (stiction) were measured using assorted lubricant thicknesses with and without bonding on polished and textured disks. Separation was measured during contact start/stop (CSS) and long term slider dwell times, after which static friction was measured. Polished disks had high stiction events with smaller separations during and after the stiction event, unlike textured disks. Long-term dwell studies showed the coefficient of static friction and slider micro descent (decrease in interplanar separation) to be greatest with greater lubricant thickness and polished disks. Static friction and separation with bonded and unlubricated disks were time independent.

When a surface layer of the soil freezes, both heat and water diffuse from the unfrozen soil beneath to the frozen region. Often the soil does not freeze homogeneously but distinct ice lenses form. An analysis of the diffusion and ice nucleation processes suggests conditions under which ice lensing can be expected; in particular, it is shown that multiple ice lenses cannot form unless the soil thermal diffusivity is greater than the water diffusion coefficient. Analysis of a simple one-dimensional case (a semi-infinite mass of homogeneous soil whose surface temperature is suddenly lowered) gives the temperature and water-content fields as functions of time; these agree with those observed in an experimental study of freezing clay.

An experimental study of biodegradation of Shenmu coal was carried out by using Ochrobactrum cytisi, Novospingobium naphthalenivorans, Alcaligenes faecalis and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The micro-nano pore structure of coal samples before and after biodegradation was studied by low-temperature N2 adsorption. For biodegraded coal, the results showed that micropores and mesopores are primarily open pores with good connectivity, including parallel plate pores and cylinder pores with two open ends; the specific surface area of biodegraded coal decreased from 2.2174 m2/g to 1.6255˜2.0537 m2/g, and the pore size of the coal biodegraded by the four bacteria decreased following biodegradation from 250 nm to 170˜200 nm, which may be due to collapse of the coal structure due to the bacterial degradation. Coal biodegradation by the dominant bacterium P. fluorescens led to a diminished mesopore size and an increased number of smaller mesopores, with the smaller mesopores gradually taking on dominant roles.

The offshore activities in cold waters have moved from shallow to deep sea waters, which require different operations as compared to activities in hot sea water. Such offshore operations in cold regions like arctic may be effected by the ice accretion on deck and other areas of structure. Ice mainly accretes from both sea spray and atmospheric icing, which can create problems for operational environment and safety of people working on offshore structures in cold regions. In this research a lab based experimental study has been carried out to preliminary design and test an intelligent thermal anti/de-icing system. The experimental study was carried out in cold room chamber of Narvik University College, where temperature can be well controlled between +10 to-30 °C. The proposed intelligent thermal based deicing system can be used to control the communication between icing sensors, weather station, heating devices and central control unit. In this preliminary design phase, a simple surface temperature control method has been developed and tested that can further provides an efficient thermal deicing method and will also be capable to control the surface temperature of objects of interest in cold regions
