Sliding resistance of grounded spray ice islands
In the 1970’s and 1980’s, a number of grounded ice islands were used as drilling platforms in the Beaufort Sea. These islands were constructed by spraying sea water into the air to form ice, gradually building up a large platform area that eventually grounded on the seabed. One important factor in t...
