| Description |
This was a Joint Industry Project
(JIP). The objective of this project was to develop a probabilistic ice load model for the
Beaufort Sea which can be used to choose realistic, site-specific, design criteria for ice
based on a measure of the load exceedance probabilistics. This included defining realistic
ice load scenarios to describe ice conditions in different seasons at various locations
and the development of probabilistic measures for the frequency and severity of each
scenario based on sound statistical methods. A simulation model was developed that
combines ice statistics with ice-structure interaction models to produce probabilistic
load descriptions. |
| Progress |
Complete. A final project
presentation was held on January 22-23, 1986 in Calgary. The final Project Report was
prepared based on comments received at this meeting. |
