Radio interference characteristics of overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment - Part 2: Meth...
CISPR 18-2:2010(E), which is a technical report, applies to radio noise from overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment which may cause interference to radio reception. The frequency range covered is 0,15 MHz to 300 MHz. A general procedure for establishing the limits of the radio noise field from the power lines and equipment is recommended, together with typical values as examples, and…
TECHNICAL GUIDE - Infrastructure in permafrost: A guideline for climate change adaptation
1 INTRODUCTION TO THE GUIDELINE
1.1 Need for this Guideline
Engineering projects in the North often encounter permafrost in their foundation
environment. The ability of frozen ground to support these structures depends mostly on
local climatic conditions, ground temperatures, soil/rock material properties, and ground
ice conditions.
Since significant climate warming is anticipated in…
