Recent roof damages from ROS load have been observed in both old and new structures, as climate changes exacerbate such events. Evaluating ROS load in existing snow load codes is crucial to determine whether they adequately address climate-driven impacts, including changing precipitation patterns and extreme weather events. This paper presents a systematic review of the ROS events, damage cases, current methods, and changing climate which shows that snowpack, its properties, and flow type are the key areas of focus. The review of ROS load standards exposed a reliance on historical data and snowpack characteristics, with limited consideration of climate change impacts on ROS surcharge loads. The bibliometric analysis of keywords revealed that environmental factors, snowpack properties, and climate change effects need to be considered for modeling ROS load. Among the available models, snowmelt and snowpack models are effective for long-term ROS simulations, particularly regarding snow depth, density, and pore distribution. In contrast, flow models can provide practical solutions for estimating ROS load while accounting for both uniform and non-uniform wetting front flow conditions in older snowpacks. The distinction between uniform wetting front flow and matrix-preferential flow is pivotal in determining the complexity of ROS load models, as these patterns significantly influence water retention in snow. As global warming can intensify ROS events, reassessment of ROS load standards with climate models is imperative to understand the future effects of climate non-stationarity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10522,"journal":{"name":"Cold Regions Science and Technology","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 104432"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143348092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in contrast to snow depth (HS), obtaining HNW measurements is challenging as well as time-consuming and is hence rarely measured. Therefore, we assess the reliability of two semi-empirical methods, HS2SWE and ΔSNOW, for estimating HNW. These methods are designed to simulate continuous water equivalent of the snowpack (SWE) from daily HS only, with changes in SWE yielding daily HNW estimates. We compare both parametric methods against HNW predictions from a physics-based snow model (FSM2oshd) that integrates daily HS recordings using data assimilation. Our findings reveal that all methods exhibit similar performance, with relative biases of less than ∼3 % in replicating SWE observations commonly used for model evaluations. However, the ΔSNOW model tends to underestimate daily HNW by ∼17 %, whereas HS2SWE and FSM2oshd combined with a particle filter data assimilation scheme provide nearly unbiased estimates, with relative biases below ∼5 %. In contrast to the parsimonious parametric methods, we show that the physics-based approach can yield information about unobserved variables, such as total solid precipitation amounts, that may differ from HNW due to concurrent melt. Overall, our results underscore the potential of utilizing commonly available daily HS data in conjunction with appropriate modeling techniques to provide valuable insights into snow accumulation processes. Our study demonstrates that daily SWE observations or supplementary measurements like HNW are important for validating the day-to-day accuracy of simulations and should ideally already be incorporated during the calibration and development of models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10522,"journal":{"name":"Cold Regions Science and Technology","volume":"233 ","pages":"Article 104435"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143420530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, a loading and insulation fixture designed for stud pull-out assessments under low-temperature conditions was independently employed, and low-temperature pull-out tests were executed on 8 sets of stud specimens. The study investigated the effects of different temperatures (20 °C, −20 °C, −40 °C, −60 °C), effective embedment depths of studs (40 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm), and concrete types (HPC, UHPC) on the failure modes and pull-out capacity of stud shear connectors. Based on the experimental results, the enhancement mechanism of stud connectors in low-temperature environments was analyzed, and a modified formula for the pull-out capacity of stud connectors under low-temperature conditions was proposed. The tests revealed that the compressive and tensile strengths of both HPC and UHPC were improved with the decreasing temperature, with HPC demonstrating a greater enhancement. Within the temperature range from −60 °C to +20 °C, two types of failure modes were observed in stud pull-out specimens: concrete failure (characterized by splitting failure, cone failure, or a combined failure) and stud failure. The cone failure angles for HPC and UHPC were in the ranges of 30–35°and 22–30°, respectively. Notably, as temperature decreased and embedment depth of studs increased, the failure mode of the stud connectors transitioned from concrete failure to stud failure, accompanied by concurrent increase in tensile capacity and peak displacement of the connectors.

First, the frost heave characteristics of the canal are analyzed, and the canal lining structure is regarded as simply supported beam. Then, the frost heave mechanical model of precast lining canal under bi-directional frost heave is established, and the bending moment and deflection are deduced. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing with field monitoring test data. Finally, the frost heave law of the precast lining canal is revealed by parameter analysis. The results show that the bi-directional frost heave calculation method should be employed in shallow ground water, while the ordinary frost heave calculation method can be selected for deep ground water. The maximum displacement at the joint of the precast lining is 2.42 cm, less than 3 cm permissible displacement, whereas that of the cast lining is 1.65 cm, which is 46.67 % higher than that of the cast plate, the frost heave displacement of the cast-in-place plate is greater than 1 cm.

The strength development of the interface under various curing times was studied in detail. The experimental results indicate that the interface strength increases significantly during the initial stage of curing while the rate of strength increase diminishes over time. The improvement in peak shear strength is primarily attributed to the increase in interfacial cohesion, and the increasing trend of the cohesion follows an exponential decay function.

Compared to uniform foundations, layered models better represent real-world conditions and reveal the amplification and frequency-dependent characteristics of soil stratification under the idealized analytical framework of this study. For constant incident frequency or medium temperature, the peak horizontal displacement amplification factor is higher in an upper-soft and lower-hard foundation compared to an upper-hard and lower-soft foundation. Horizontal and vertical displacement amplification coefficients exhibit periodic fluctuations with variations in soil thickness. High-frequency seismic waves induce pronounced fluctuations in the horizontal displacement amplification coefficient. Under the idealized analytical framework, the vertical displacement amplification coefficient tends to exceed the horizontal one across all frequencies.

This paper takes the bridge pier frozen in the ice sheet as the research object, carried out the static ice load physical test of the interaction between the ice sheet and the bridge pier, and investigates the structural response under different ice sheet thicknesses, different bridge pier cross-section form, and different displacement rate. Additionally, a numerical simulation method, including cracking, was proposed for comparative verification of the test results. The conclusions of the study are as follows: As the ice sheet thickness increased in the test, the extrusion crushing area of the ice sheet became more extensive, with more cracks and longer extensions, accompanied by the intersection of ring cracks and vertical cracks. In square bridge pier tests, initial cracks in the ice appeared at the corner of the bridge pier on the tension side. In circular bridge pier tests, initial cracks appeared on both sides perpendicular to the forward direction of the pier. The peak loads of the numerical model considering the adfreeze were in good agreement with the physical test results, and the peak loads without considering the adfreeze were in good agreement with the current codes. The model considering the adfreeze had a broader range of cracks, and the cracks extended longer. The peak loads considering the adfreeze are proportional to those without considering the adfreeze, and the proportions differ for circular and square piers. Both the test results and the numerical modelling results show that the ice forces are greater with adfreeze present. Load values calculated from the current code (China 2016) are lower than the measured loads and from the numerical model with adfreeze present.
