Abstract/Additional Information
In areas with cold climate, formation of ice and permafrost may cause damage or operational problems to dams, related structures or equipment. These problems must be considered during planning, design, construction and operation of hydraulic projects in cold climate. The purpose of this bulletin is to review these problems and to present preventive or remedial measures against ice and permafrost action.
