A failure envelope for saline ice in the brittle regime
Gratz and Schulson (1994) and Gratz (1996) published the results of a large set of true-triaxial (3-D) strength experiments using Laboratory Grown Saline Ice (LGSI). In this paper, their results were used to develop a 3-D failure criterion "failure envelope" for saline ice. The latter was...

| Summary: | Gratz and Schulson (1994) and Gratz (1996) published the results of a large set of true-triaxial (3-D) strength experiments using Laboratory Grown Saline Ice (LGSI). In this paper, their results were used to develop a 3-D failure criterion "failure envelope" for saline ice. The latter was formulated on the basis of the multi-surface failure theory using the same set of elliptical equations as those used for fresh water isotropic ice and iceberg ice (previously, developed by Derradji-Aouat, 2000). The comparisons between the predicted and measured strength values demonstrate that the multi-surface formulation is appropriate to model the 3-D failure of saline ice. A global analysis reveals that there may exist a unified failure criterion for all three types of ice (freshwater isotropic ice, iceberg ice, and saline ice). If the existence of such a general failure envelope is demonstrated, the present failure envelope becomes all inclusive failure formulation "a universal failure envelope for all types of ice".
