Abstract: Two interaction experiments between a level ice sheet and a vertical pile have been conducted on Svalbard, Norway during the spring 2003. The structure consists of a vertical pile with a diameter of 0.470 m and a 20’ container as a foundation for the pile. The pile was instrumented with a semi-circular load panel, which increased the diameter to 0.665 m and a turnbuckle with a gauge measuring the strain between the pile and the foundation. Salinity and temperature were measured and ice cores were taken and tested to find the unaxial strength. This paper describes the test set-up.
