Abstract
Expansion of an ice sheet, as the result of a temperature rise after a, cold wave, can develop considerable thrust against abutting structures. Design loads for this effect on dams and hydraulic structures have varied from no allowance to values of from 40 to 50 kips per lin ft. A study and analysis, conducted to obtain a rational procedure for estimating the magnitude of ice pressures, and a review of available material on the subject are presented in this paper.
