Ice: a challenge to the engineer

Forces due to ice are a major problem for the design of hydraulic structures and ice breakers, particularly with respect to development activity in the Arctic. The paper presents a review of the characteristics of the structure of natural ice, the deformation behaviour of single crystals, and the de...
