This collection of articles deals with the variety of ice related factors which influences the specifications for building in an arctic environment. Based on the studies done concerning the effect of ice on completed structures, these articles present logical approaches to estimating effective ice loads and how to determine the necessary ice protective measures while building reservoirs, hydraulic structures, harbor ships, etc. Several articles concern how to weaken ice strength or increase the rate of thawing.
