ICE CAP STRAINS AND SOME EFFECTS ON ENGINEERING STRUCTURES.

The components of strain for the upper layers of ice sheets are given in terms of ice flow velocity and snow accumulation rate. Methods of estimating the components of strain rate which are necessary for design of engineering structures are outlined, and representative measured values are given. The...

Description
Summary:The components of strain for the upper layers of ice sheets are given in terms of ice flow velocity and snow accumulation rate. Methods of estimating the components of strain rate which are necessary for design of engineering structures are outlined, and representative measured values are given. The relation between observed structural deformation and ice cap straining is discussed. (Author)
