Project Number 97
Date of Summary March 31, 1986
Subject Engineering Properties of Multi-year Ridge Sea Ice
Performing Activity GEOTECH Resources Ltd.
Principal Investigator Dr. D. M. Masterson
Contracting Agency Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion Complete
Description This project was a continuation of the Joint Industry Project (JIP) No. 40. The initial work at CRREL on Phases I and II of the project consisted of collecting ice samples from the field and conducting uniaxial and multiaxial load test on the samples. Phase III of the project, sponsored by the Shell Development Company, will supplement the initial tests at CRREL and will make the data set more complete and usable. Phase III of this Joint Industry Project (JIP) will be conducted at GEOTECH in Calgary, Canada.
Progress Complete. The testing program has been completed. Initial results are very compatible with the ice strengths obtained in the CRREL tests. However, due to different testing methods, there are variations in the stress-strain relations. A final report has been prepared and submitted to the participants.
