Abstract:Ice reinforcement plays a vital role in enhancing the strength, stability, and load-bearing capacity of ice surfaces in various environments. This scientific exploration delves into different facets of ice reinforcement, encompassing the main methodologies employed, the consequential increase in strength, the drawbacks associated with reinforced ice, the cost implications, and the process of removing reinforcement when the ice melts. By analyzing these aspects, we aim to develop a comprehensive understanding o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
