Abstract: The maximum ice force of a large ice floe acting on structures is generally the ice force produced at the time the floe fractures. When the floe does not reach the point of fracture, or when small ice floes in clusters exert force on structures, the ice force is detennined by fluid force. Also, whether ice jams are fonned is closely related to the intensity of the fluid force. This paper reports on the results we obtained from model experiments on the fluid force of water acting on ice floe and a rubble field of ice.
