Natalie Arpin will be presenting Understanding Frost Jacking Effects on Transportation Infrastructure in Permafrost Regions: Insights from the Hudson Bay Railway.
The Hudson Bay Railway plays a crucial role in Canada by providing an all-season, land-based pathway to transport goods to Northern communities, but the diverse ground conditions, ranging from isolated to continuous permafrost, create significant obstacles in maintaining its operation. The presentation will discuss current efforts to improve understanding of how ground conditions affect railway bridges, with a specific focus on frost jacking.
