Bearing capacity
In geotechnical engineering, bearing capacity is the capacity of soil to support the loads applied to the ground.
See Ice road and Bearing capacity
Creep (deformation)
In materials science, creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to undergo slow deformation while subject to persistent mechanical stresses.
See Ice road and Creep (deformation)
Finland
Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe.
Flexural strength
Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.
See Ice road and Flexural strength
Frozen River
Frozen River is a 2008 American crime drama film written and directed by Courtney Hunt in her feature directorial debut.
Glacier
A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving downhill under its own weight.
Ground-penetrating radar
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface.
See Ice road and Ground-penetrating radar
Homologous temperature
Homologous temperature expresses the thermodynamic temperature of a material as a fraction of the thermodynamic temperature of its melting point (i.e. using the Kelvin scale): T_H.
See Ice road and Homologous temperature
Ice pier
An ice pier or ice wharf is a man-made structure used to assist the unloading of ships in Antarctica.
Ice racing
Ice racing is a form of racing that uses cars, motorcycles, snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, or other motorized vehicles.
Ice Road Truckers
Ice Road Truckers (commercially abbreviated IRT) is a reality television series that aired on History Channel from 2007 to 2017. Ice road and Ice Road Truckers are ice roads.
See Ice road and Ice Road Truckers
Plate theory
In continuum mechanics, plate theories are mathematical descriptions of the mechanics of flat plates that draw on the theory of beams.
Popular Mechanics
Popular Mechanics (often abbreviated as PM or PopMech) is a magazine of popular science and technology, featuring automotive, home, outdoor, electronics, science, do it yourself, and technology topics.
See Ice road and Popular Mechanics
Shoal
In oceanography, geomorphology, and geoscience, a shoal is a natural submerged ridge, bank, or bar that consists of, or is covered by, sand or other unconsolidated material, and rises from the bed of a body of water close to the surface or above it, which poses a danger to navigation.
Snow road
A snow road is a type of winter road, which is a road that is used or trafficable only in the winter. Ice road and snow road are ice roads and types of roads.
Snowplow
A snowplow (also snow plow, snowplough or snow plough) is a device intended for mounting on a vehicle, used for removing snow and ice from outdoor surfaces, typically those serving transportation purposes.
The Ice Road
The Ice Road is a 2021 American action thriller film written and directed by Jonathan Hensleigh.
Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road
Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road is an annual ice road first built in 1982 to service mines and exploration activities in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Northern Canada. Ice road and Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road are ice roads.
See Ice road and Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road
Tuktoyaktuk
Tuktoyaktuk, or Tuktuyaaqtuuq (Inuvialuktun: it looks like a caribou), is an Inuvialuit hamlet located near the Mackenzie River delta in the Inuvik Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, at the northern terminus of the Inuvik–Tuktoyaktuk Highway.
Winter road
A winter road is a seasonal road only usable during the winter, i.e. it has to be re-built every year.
