Project Number 77
Date of Summary March 31, 1992
Subject Ice Stress Measurements
Performing Activity U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory
Principal Investigator Dr. Devinder S. Sodhi
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description The objective was to determine the stresses which are generated in an ice sheet as the flow acts on an arctic offshore structure. This project used the methodology developed in Project No. 50. to measure the stresses which are built-up in an ice flow as it moves against the structure. From these stress measurements, the total global force which acts against the structures can be estimated.
