Crowd induced deflection of Dow's Lake ice cover during Winterlude Festival 1985
The response of a 0.6 m thick floating ice cover in a small lake is described, when 60,000 spectators gathered to witness a concert on stages built on the ice. To monitor and evaluate safety, deflection and surface strain on the ice cover were recorded continuously in front of the stages. The data i...
