Frost heaving of piles with examples from Fairbanks, Alaska
Troy Lewis Pewe, R.A. Paige
1959, Open-File Report 60-111
Seasonal freezing of the ground is common throughout most of the world's land surface. As the ground freezes the surface of the ground may rise--this rising is termed frost heaving. Upward displacement of the ground upon freezing is not due alone to the freezing of water originally contained in the...

Luna Bergere Leopold
1959, Circular 410
The literature on probability techniques applicable to problems in hydrology is abundant but scattered through scientific journals of both hydrology and statistics. Important administrative and judicial decisions presently face water-compact commissions, courts, and water-planning committees. These and other groups might find useful, a brief and simplified discussion of how statistical...
