Engineering Properties of Sea Ice Ridges in the Barents Sea in 2012-2014 Years for Evaluation of Ice Loads on Offshore Structures

Abstract:

Results of studies of ice ridges in field conditions are presented. Ice ridges investigated in the Barents Sea the proximity of the South-East of Svalbard archipelago. Five ice ridges are surveyed during research cruises in 2012-2014 years. Main engineering properties ice ridges as thickness of consolidated layer, height of sail and depth of keel were obtained. Results of research are of primary importance for evaluation of ice loads in studied area in Barents Sea.
