Abstract: This paper describes a computer program called "ICESTRIKE" designed to store, analyse and access large scale ice-structure interaction information. The present version contains all the important large-scale data currently available in the public domain. To our knowledge this database is unique and the first of its type. It incorporates considerable pre-analysis and built-in analytical devices which makes it a valuable tool in the design of structures subjected to ice action and particularly Arctic offshore structures. Currently the database contains over 110 large-scale ice-structure interaction studies which have been reviewed and summarized into a "DATASET TABLE" of 68 variables. These give a quick appreciation for the contents of each study and the references which apply to it. Approximately 350 "EVENT DATA" sets have been extracted from 60 high priority studies selected from the above 110. These events consist of a possible 320 variables which can be correlated, used in computations and plotted. Sixty "RAW DATA" traces which relate to some of the above events have been digitized to allow extraction of user defined statistics or characteristics (such as duration of peak, rise time, etc. .. .). An analytical program called "ICEDYN" is provided to allow users to extract statistics and power spectra from raw data traces and to plot the results.
