Osvoenie trudnodostupnykh rayonov arkticheskoy zony: novye tekhnologii uprochneniya ledovykh pokrytiy dlya transportnykh uzlov i kommunikatsiy

The paper examines the opportunities of using new technologies of strengthening ice structures for construction of transport hubs, communications, ice aerodromes, highways and railways in the Arctic zone. The experimental results proving the opportunity to increase significantly the ice strength properties by introducing microdoses of high molecular modified compounds into water solution are presented. It is shown that the combination of ice modification and reinforcement by uptodate highstrength fibers is efficient. The criteria to select chemical compounds and reinforcing materials as regards the conjugating their physical and adhesion properties have been developed. The perspectives of new technology application in the Arctic region have been estimated.
