Abstract
The pressures produced by the thermal expansion of thick ice sheets are considered by the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), United States Department of the Interior, in the designs of some dams and accessory structures. The USBR conducted experimental investigations of ice pressure from 1946 to 1951. These investigations included field studies at several reservoirs located in the mountains of Colorado and laboratory studies performed in the Engineering Laboratories of the USBR in Denver, Colo. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the more important findings of these field and laboratory investigations.
