Lattice Modelling of the Onset of Concrete-Ice Abrasion

Lattice Modelling of Concrete-Ice Abrasion

An increasing number of activities are moved into Arctic regions. As oil and gas companies are exploring the options in these regions, structures are required which can withstand the severe environmental conditions. Existing structures are subjected to heavy mechanical loads due to moving ice sheets. For concrete structures in particular ice...

Experimental study on the development of abrasion at offshore concrete structures in ice conditions

Concrete structures in marine environments subject to sea ice interaction are at risk of erosion and damage. Industry is interested in characterizing the ice abrasion phenomenon so that abrasion risk can be managed. The experiments conducted in this work have an exploratory character in order to identify the abrasion phenomenon and qualitatively...
