| Summary: | Ice has been a serious obstacle and problem for the construction of hydraulic and marine structures, lighthouses, and the like in cold regions. For these structures, ice forces are the major design criteria. Because the ice loads caused by sea ice on offshore structures have been fully reviewed a few times, they are purposely set aside in this paper. Instead, two major problems are discussed here in some detail: The adfreeze bond strength of sea ice and the abrasion by ice on hydraulic and marine structures. These discussions are mainly based on the results of the studies carried out by the author and various combinations of colleagues, postgraduate and graduate students under his Chairmanship for over 20 years; these groups are hereafter referred to as the SCS. |
