A method for construction of an energy-efficient ice floating pier in the Arctic using hardened ice

This paper presents studies on increasing the ice strength using various additives. It is indicated that addition of wood fiber (artificial composition) and vegetable fiber (natural composition - frozen peat) to ice is an energy-efficient method to increase its strength.

Description
Summary:This paper presents studies on increasing the ice strength using various additives. It is indicated that addition of wood fiber (artificial composition) and vegetable fiber (natural composition - frozen peat) to ice is an energy-efficient method to increase its strength. This enhances the possibilities of using ice during building and construction works in the Arctic. As an example, the authors proposed a floating ice pier design.
