Design of Living Barriers to Reduce the Impacts of Snow Drifts on Illinois Freeways
| 项目名称： | Design of Living Barriers to Reduce the Impacts of Snow Drifts on Illinois Freeways |
| 摘要： | An emerging alternative to a structural snow fence is a living snow fence (LSF), which provides a longer-lasting, low-maintenance and cost-effective solution to snowdrifting. It is desirable to improve the use of living barriers as a passive yet sustainable snow/ice control measure for Illinois freeways. Existing design protocols are based on semi-empirical assumptions about snow transport and deposition around structural barriers, which fail to represent the diverse scenarios around LSFs or guide their proper siting and design. The objective of this project is to �develop recommendations on design and placement of living snow fences to minimize the snow drift�. |
