Model Studies of Ice Interaction with the U.S. Army Ribbon Bridge.
The performance of the U.S. Army's floating Ribbon Bridge in an ice-filled waterway is investigated in a model study. Conditions when ice-blocks could be expected to jam behind the bridge are outlined using available instability theories. It is shown that current theories do not accurately desc...
