... the controlling ice feature at many Arctic locations. In sub-Arctic regions ridges are smaller but they also usually control design ice loads. For vertical structures, ISO 19906 (Standard on Arctic Offshore Structures) suggests calculating the load due to crushing of the CL and adding this to the load to fail...

... Abstract The interaction of ice sheets with rigid vertical structures is an important problem in the design of arctic offshore structures. Offshore structures often experience an enormous ice load since the ice sheet breaks by crushing into the structure. The finite element method is adopted...
