Loads from Ice Ridge Keels – Analytical vs. Numerical

Abstract:

Action of ice ridge keel on vertical structures is studied by means of analytical and numerical methods. The analytical method involves keel load calculations using Russian and European recommendations provided in SP 38.13330.2012 and ISO/FDIS 19906 respectively. The numerical method involves finite element calculation. It is demonstrated that numerical methods can provide an important insight into ridges keels behavior. The numerical and analytical results obtained using Russian recommendations for vertical structures are in a good agreement.
