Abstract
Vertical sided structures may have advantages over inclined structures in terms of construction costs and past experiences. Although, it is well recognized that even a massive structure may vibrate if a load exceeds certain level after the lesson of Molikpaq experienced in 1986. Designers shall know the parameters that cause vibrations while structures indent against various ice features. The vibration may inversely affect design loads and foundation stability. A five-year ice load research program was executed from 1993 to 1997 to clarify the characteristics and develop the computer code capable of simulating vibrations and associated loads. Extensive ice tank tests were performed to observe crushing phenomena and obtain the verification data for the computer code. In this paper, highlights of test results are summarized to feature the non-simultaneous and simultaneous failure modes.
