Engineering and Design: Ice-Influenced Flood Stage Frequency Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this letter is to provide techniques for he determination of stage-frequency distributions for rivers subject to periods of ice. Such analysis can be important for projects dealing with ice-affected flooding, clearance for bridges or hydraulic structures, tail water elevations for hydroelectric plants, water intake elevations, and shore protection design.
