Abstract: Loads due to first-year ice ridges on cylindrical support structures have been estimated with models based on the ratio of structure diameter to ice ridge keel thickness. A method has been suggested to estimate load due to first-year ice ridges from laboratory and field experiments. Various estimation techniques of loads due to first-year ice ridges have been compared to demonstrate that the suggested approach to hummock load estimation yields the best-justified (and smallest) load values.
