Tensile strength envelopes were developed for horizontally and vertically oriented specimens of saline ice. The upper boundary limit in each case represents 1- to 2-ppt salinity ice for temperature range -4C to -27C, while the lower boundary represents 7- to 9-ppt salinity ice for the same temperatu...
