Abstract: Experiments have been performed to determine the effect of loading rate and temperature on the fracture toughness of freshwater ice. A first paper (Weber and Nixon, 1996) presents the experimental ...

Abstract: By reinforcing ice with readily available alluvium, an economic building material for remote Arctic locations may be obtained. Three‐point bending tests are performed on ice reinforced with sand (

Abstract: Tests have been performed at −10°C on circumferentially notched right circular cylinders of randomly oriented granular polycrystalline freshwater ice, to determine whether grain size affects ...

Abstract: Experiments have been performed to determine the effect of loading rate and temperature on the fracture toughness of both granular and S2 columnar freshwater ice. Loading rate was varied from ...

Abstract: Cable‐moored platforms may be an attractive engineering approach to the problem of conducting engineering activities such as drilling in moderately deep (20–70 m) ice‐covered waters. However, the dynamic performance of ...

Abstract: Tensile tests have been performed on first-year sea ice and on laboratory-grown saline ice at −10° C and at two strain rates, 10−3 s−1 and 10−7 s−1 . The first-year sea ice was collected ...
