| Description |
This project was a continuation
of the Joint Industry Project (JIP) No. 40. The
initial work at CRREL on Phases I and II of the project consisted of collecting ice
samples from the field and conducting uniaxial and multiaxial load test on the samples.
Phase III of the project, sponsored by the Shell Development Company, will supplement the
initial tests at CRREL and will make the data set more complete and usable. Phase III of
this Joint Industry Project (JIP) will be conducted at GEOTECH in Calgary, Canada. |
| Progress |
Complete. The testing program has
been completed. Initial results are very compatible with the ice strengths obtained in the
CRREL tests. However, due to different testing methods, there are variations in the
stress-strain relations. A final report has been prepared and submitted to the
participants. |
