Aim:

Analysis of statistical regularities of ice loads on engineering structures and development of a new method for their stochastic modeling

Objectives:

• Development of stochastic models of ice loads on supports and bases of offshore structures;
• Refinement of mechanical models of interaction between ice and offshore structures;
• Measurement and analysis of local ice pressures;
• Photographic survey of ice fragments, ice fields and ice features both in model and in-situ conditions.
