Analogue Simulation of Dynamic Interaction of Sea Ice and a Pier Column Structure

Abstract:

The process of interaction of sea ice and a pier column structure was studied by using analogue simulation method in the paper, and the dynamic ice force acting on the pier column structure was achieved. Combining with theory analysis, it modified the dynamic ice force model suggested by Croteau. The results showed that the loading stiffness suggested by Croteau is too big to use in the dynamic ice force model and the Withalm formula and simulated results are more suitable. It suggested the calculation formulas of relative displacement in ice force unloading stage and the continuous ice force in ice force continuous stage.
