Coastal Ice Investigation on the Site of Further Bridge Construction - Sveagruva, Svalbard, Norway

Abstract:

Sveagruva is a mining settlement in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, lying in the head of Van Mijenfjord. A bridge to the opposite site of the fjord is planned to be constructed for further mine development, so investigations of coastal ice forces on one of the future bridge suspensions were held.
