Ice Loads on the Molikpaq at Amauligak I-65 Based on Geotechnical Analyses and Responses

This paper summarizes the geotechnical component of a Joint Industry Project that reviewed the response of the Molikpaq to ice loading at the Amauligak I-65 site in 1986. The geotechnical component of the study included a review of the following: (1) The initial design which emphasized the importance of the core sand properties; (2) The as-placed (in situ) state of the core sand at Amauligak; (3) Performance predictions based on various models; and (4) Measured displacements. Based on the above, ice load estimates were provided for several events. The largest estimated load was during the event on the morning of April 12th, 1986. It is the author’s opinion that since the global displacements were relatively small and that the sand core was in a loose state that this load was in the range of 150 to 250 MN. Such loads are in the order of 50% or lower than loads previously estimated by others which either directly or indirectly rely on Medof panel data.
