BREAKING LENGTH OF SHEET ICE AGAINST SLOPING STRUCTURE

摘要

The interaction between sheet ice and sloping structure was studied. Models were built up according to the emersed part and floating part of the ice sheet respectively. Bending moment distribution in ice sheet was analyzed to determine where bending failure would occur. The analytic solution of breaking length for sheet ice was got. And some new conclusions were also deduced, which could provide reference for design and field experiment of offshore ice-resistant structure. The results in this paper are consistent with the experimental data from previous researchers. The theoretical results of this paper can directly be used in the analysis of wide inclined structures.
