Abstract: For temperate ice regions, guidance provided by current design codes regarding ice load estimation for thin ice is unclear, particularly for local pressure estimation. This is in part due to the broader issue of having ...

Abstract: The indentation of rock particles into ice is an important aspect of understanding subsea interactions involving ice features and gravelly soil. This article investigates the indentation of rock particles into an ice ...

Abstract: Ice flexural strength is an important parameter in the assessment of ice loads on the hulls of ice-class ships, sloped offshore structures, and sloped bridge piers. While scale effects in compressive ice strength are well ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of local ice loads measured during fullscale field trials conducted in 2014 with a totally enclosed motor propelled survival craft (TEMPSC) in controlled pack ice conditions. These data were ...

Abstract: As part of the Mechanics of Ice Rubble project, recent experiments have been carried out to study the strength and failure behavior of ice rubble beams and the freeze bonds that form between individual ice blocks. In this ...
