| Description |
A joint
university/industry/government consortium was formed to study the structure-property
relationships which govern the mechanical properties of saline ice. This is an adjunct to Project No. 40 on the mechanical properties of
multiyear ridge ice. This project was broader in that it included first year ice and
considered factors not included in Project No. 40.
Major areas of consideration were directed at the effects of interrupted loading on the
compressive strength of saline ice and the effect of grain size; brine volume, crack
orientation and temperature on the fracture toughness of saline ice. |
