Simulation and analysis of ice-induced vibrations experienced but Molikpaq during the May 12, 1986 event

Much attention has been given to the dynamic ice-structure interaction of the Molikpaq caisson which resulted in severe, almost catastrophic, structural vibrations during the winter of 1985- 1986 at Amauligak I-65 in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. In this study, specific focus is given to the scientific literature describing the ice-induced...

Consideration of ice drift in determining the contribution of iceinduced vibrations to structural fatigue

Ice-induced vibrations have to be considered in the design of vertically sided offshore structures which may encounter drifting sea or lake ice during their lifetime. One particular aspect is the contribution of ice-induced vibrations to the fatigue of such structures. Estimation of the duration of events is often difficult, due to limited...
