Abstract: A review of the literature on shore ice pile-up and ride-up observations is presented along with the average forces associated with the phenomena. Besides wind/water driving forces, it is postulated that storm surges or waves may also carry the floating ice sheet farther inland, where damage to structures and human lives is possible. A brief review is presented of the analytical and experimental work done to understand the behavior of ice sheets in relation to its piling or riding up the beach. A short summary of each model study that is reported in open literature is also given.
