Project Number 134
Date of Summary December 31, 1989
Subject Impact of Crushed Ice on the Ice-Structure Interaction for Arctic Platforms
Performing Activity GEOTECHnical Resources Limited
Principal Investigator Dr. Dan Masterson
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description This was a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to assess the influence of the crushed ice forces between the structure and the moving ice floe on the load transferred to the structure. This project improved our understanding of the behavior of crushed ice under stress to develop constitutive relationships for use in the evaluation of load distribution on the structure.
