This paper summarizes all available data related to ice floe impacts on structures. These data include laboratory tests, forces on several bridge piers (Hondo, Pembina, Rideau), forces from small icebergs impacting dedicated test structures (Grappling Island, Newmans Cove), first-year and multi-year...
