“…It is used to calibrate computer modelling of ice cover behaviour. Sinha and Cai [16] pointed out that the value of E can vary from 0.1 to 6.9 GPa. There are many factors which can result in this high variation in E, such as ice type, temperature and rate of loading.…”

Winter roads are economical and effective means of providing reliable transportation links to remote regions. Operators establishing ice crossings over rivers and lakes have been facing increased pressure to deliver higher volumes of goods, larger loads, in challenging climatic conditions. A question arose from industry: "is there a way to safely provide additional bearing capacity in ice covers and assist with extending operating seasons, possibly through reinforcing the ice?" This study investigated this operational challenge by developing a model to simulate ice reinforcement theories using ANSYS computer modeling techniques. ANSYS 18.0 was utilized to successfully model reinforced ice covers and estimate the ice deflection under a centrally concentrated load. ANSYS computer models allow us to learn complex behaviours of materials and provide a more accurate estimation of deflection compared to the analytical method, which provides a closed-form solution to a given problem. The results show that the reinforcing material is able to stiffen the ice cover which enables a larger surface area to carry the load; a higher percentage of the reinforcement by volume further reduces ice deflection. The test results also indicate that the reinforcing material must be considerably stiffer than the ice so that the load can be more efficiently transferred from the ice to the reinforcing material. The results highlight a successful modelling of reinforced ice covers and discuss the feasibility of installing the reinforcing material, through an example using wood as a possible reinforcing material because it is readily available on site and meets a number of pre-determined criteria. While the creation of an ice reinforcement modeling tool was a success, further research is needed to verify the feasibility of using a variety of materials as reinforcement to increase the safe bearing capacity of ice covers as well as evaluate different applications and orientations of the reinforcement to achieve the best outcome. All of this bearing in mind that the reinforcement must be able to be safely installed in situ within the ice cover. Moreover, a collection of actual ice deflections in the field is recommended to further assist in calibrating the ANSYS model. The simulations serve as an initial step in evaluating different reinforcement materials and methodologies. Subsequent research will need to evaluate the modelling in controlled, full-scale field applications prior to providing a tested solution for commercial use.

“…Thus, the recovered strain is attributed to an anelastic behavior. To describe what may be called the primary or transient creep of the material in short-term loadings, Sinha and Cai [5] introduced the Elasto-Delayed Elastic model. They showed that, at low stress and temperature ranges, the material displays an elastic behavior for several hours.…”

In most of the models proposed for deformation of ice, in addition to instantaneous elastic and viscoelastic parts, a viscoplastic part is also considered. An expression used for material secondary creep is usually employed to describe the viscoplastic component. In this study, however, another viscoplastic deformation of primary creep type is also considered in addition to the secondary creep. Therefore the permanent contribution of deformation is suggested to consist of primary and secondary creep parts. The existence of the primary creep contribution is investigated and characterized by using experimental results reported in the literature. The identified primary creep contribution is then validated by other available experimental results. Finally, the significance of primary creep in the inelastic behavior will be discussed.
