Sanderson, T J.O.

This volume brings together the results of all salient research development in ice engineering, from smaller scale to full size tests on ice strength and ice mechanics which is essential criteria for the design of safe, cost effective structures. Much of the data has been released from confidential industry files and thus allows, for the first time, a full appraisal of the subject. Contents include - Types and Distribution of Ice, Mechanical Properties, Measurements of Ice-Structure Interaction, and Analysis of Ice Failure and Design Ice Loads. This work is completed with a full literary review and subject index.
