Conducting corrosion control procedures in Cold Climates is often much more involved and costly than in temperate and tropical areas. Applied research to determine the cost of corrosion in Alaska is badly needed. It should be done in a manner compatible with the national cost of corrosion program available elsewhere in the U.S. since the late 1970s so that comparisons can be readily made. Performance of building envelops in cold climates. Penetrations in building walls can have a large impact on energy loss when combined with large buoyancy effects due to large temperature differences across the structure.
Additional work is needed in the area of frost heave and thaw settlement modeling.
