Abstract: Full-scale tests of ice-structure interaction were conducted on three multileg jacket platforms in Bohai Sea. Two of them were installed with ice-breaking cones on each of their four legs to reduce ice force and mitigate ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model of dynamic ice forces on vertical offshore structures. The model concerns a loading scenario where a competent ice sheet is drifting and crushing against the ...

Abstract: Ice-structure interaction plays a central part in determining ice loads and ice-induced vibrations. This is a controversial research issue, and many factors make the problem more complicated. The ...
