INSTRUMENTED PILES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF ICE-UPLIFT FORCES
This paper describes instrumentation which was developed to measure ice uplift forces acting in the field under natural conditions. The system designed for the study consists of a two-piece vertically split cylindrical sleeve which surrounds the pile and extends from above the high water line to below the depth of maximum ice thickness. It was supported from above the water or ice line by a pair of strap load transducers, 180 degrees apart, attached to a mount which was free to rotate in the horizontal plane.
