A series of pressuremeter creep and relaxation tests was carried out in the spring of 1987 in a sea-ice cover at Igloolik, Northwest Territories, for the purpose of testing some new procedures for in situ determination of creep properties of sea ice. Compared with a similar field study carried out 9...
