Abstract: Results of field studies of ice static pressure on gates (vertical-lift and taintor types) of three dams, under various service, climatic and hydrologic conditions, are described. Stresses in main bearing members from the ice load and thermal stresses are given both for conditions of gates frozen in ice without an arrangement of artificial lanes and heating and with lanes being maintained. During a number of seasons, and under various conditions, studies of the static action of ice on the gates of three dams were conducted. The structure and strength parameters of ice, deformation of ice fields in storage reservoirs in front of water the outlet structures and the state of stress in steel gates of dams under the ice action were investigated. Climatic and hydrological features of projects under investigation, for the years of studies, are given.
