Abstract: Locks and Dams have problems with ice every winter, especially those in the north. The most severe problem is ice accumulation in the miter gate recess. The second most severe problem around locks is ice in the upper approach. Another severe icing problem is water leaking past J-seals and subsequently freezing on cold surfaces, such as trunnion arms and adjacent concrete walls. In this paper, solutions to some of the most severe problems are presented., such as bubblers or some type of heater.
