Abstract: Comprehensive full-scale measurements of ice force and ice induced vibrations have been performed in Bohai Bay over a number of years. Five narrow compliant ice-resist offshore structures, of which three are circular cylinder structures and two are conical structures, have been equipped with sensors. The ice load panels were mounted on cylinder as well as on cone to direct measure ice forces. Meantime accelerometers and the video cameras were used to measure structure responses, velocity and failure behavior of ice. Large-scale test data have been collected. The present paper briefly introduces the test arrangements on these structures and concentrate to discuss the results of dynamic forces and ice induced vibrations on cylindrical and conical structures.
