THE PRESSURE OF FLOATING ICE-FIELDS ON PILES

Reports on laboratory tests of the compressive strength of ice cubes from river, lake and brackish harbor water. The results showing the influence of temperature, deformation velocity and pressure direction on the cubic strength are discussed. The relationship between the tested and the natural strengths was derived by pressure measurements of floating ice-fields on an Eider River pier. An equation is presented for ice-pressure calculation.
