... by the variability of the ice sheet parameters, including geometric and kinematic characteristics. These characteristics are random values, the process of ice-structure interaction is therefore a ramdom one. The probability for the highest values of ice pressure occuring on all columns simultaneously is practically...

... is considered. Based on typical observations of ice-structure impact, a continuum dam- age mechanics approach for ice property descriptions is adopted for the theoretical simulation of the ice-structure interaction. The method of characteristics is applied to solve the wave propagation problem...

... and soil. In the first case only manufactured ice obtained by a spray cone method is studied; such ice is considered as structural material for different engineering structures. The second case concerns interaction of natural ice cover with structures and of manufactured ice with the soil foundation; here...

... on the platfonn and dynamic tendon behaviour. Equilibrium between forces on the platform and true restoring forces in the tendons will thereby be achieved. The motivation for running an integrated analYSIS is to investigate the non-linear interaction between tendon dynamIcs and platform motions. Use of non-linear...

... ABSTRACT Interaction of dragging anchors with offshore pipelines is one of the most serious accidents the pipeline may experience. In case the risk of a rupture with leakage is considered not acceptable, a trench and a cover so deep and protective to reduce significantly the risk...
