Abstract: Ice-force measurements at Cook Inlet, Alaska made by Blenkarn and at several bridge piers in Alberta by Neill and Neill, Saunders and Schulz are highly random indicating a strong need for stochastic analysis. The probabilistic dynamic analysis of a fixed three-dimensional offshore tower presented in this paper forms part of a continuing research project on "Stochastic Analysis of Ice-Structure Interaction" which is relevant to the extensive program in Cold Regions-Oriented Ocean Engineering at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The work is an extension of earlier investigations of a single-degree-of-freedom system by Sundararajan and Reddy and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, based on cantilever beam and twodimensional frame models with lumped masses, by Reddy and Cheema and Reddy, Cheema and Swamidas.
