EFFECT OF HUMMOCKED ICE ON THE PIERS OF MARINE HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES

The interaction of ridged ice with vertical and cone-shaped piers of marine hydraulic structures is described. The ice load on a vertical pier is examined as a summation of forces imposed by solid and disintegrated ice. In the case of a cone-shaped pier the ice load due to solid and disintegrated ice is considered consecutively. Design relationships are proposed. Presented are methods for calculating ice loads on isolated piers of marine hydraulic structures, with rafting of primary ice forms and pressure ridges included. The methods are based on field, experimental and analytical data.
