The article is devoted to the questions of deformation (strain) and stressed state of an ice cover with a allowance for the time of load influence. They analyze the available experimental data and the existing mathematical concepts; they discuss the results from theoretical and experimental studies; developed more rigorous relationships of load effect; and reviewed the acutal engineering problems originating during the employment of an ice cover as a construction-assembly area, for winter crossings and as main transportation lines.
