PROBLEMS IN ICE ENGINEERING

The design of large structures in ice infested water such as piers, offshore terminals and platforms is subject to considerable uncertainties due to lack of suitable data and experience. Observations on ships provide clues for some of the most serious problems to be solved. This paper discusses the effect of friction, adfreezing, side pressure and forces on random ice agglomerations.
