Selection of Local Design Ice Pressures for Arctic Systems

Punching shear resistance of lightweight concrete offshore structures for the Arctic :

“…Bruen et al [28] have proposed design curves, shown in Figure 2a, taking into account this relationship. A similar ice pressure design curve, from Byrd et al [26], is shown in Figure 2b.…”

“…Hawkins, Criswell and Roll [41] concluded that the shear strength can be said to be dependent on the square root of the compressive strength for compressive cylinder strengths less than 4000 psi (28 Kinnunen [45] and Anis [46] concluded that dowel forces carry about 30 percent of the total shear in a slab. However, Moe [47] found that the contribution of dowel forces was insignificant.…”
