Project Number 87
Date of Summary March 31, 1997
Subject Mechanical Properties of Saline Ice
Performing Activity Dartmouth College
Principal Investigator Dr. Erland M. Schulson
Contracting Agency U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory
Estimated Completion Complete
Description A joint university/industry/government consortium was formed to study the structure-property relationships which govern the mechanical properties of saline ice. This is an adjunct to Project No. 40 on the mechanical properties of multiyear ridge ice. This project was broader in that it included first year ice and considered factors not included in Project No. 40. Major areas of consideration were directed at the effects of interrupted loading on the compressive strength of saline ice and the effect of grain size; brine volume, crack orientation and temperature on the fracture toughness of saline ice.
