Abstract: When estimating ice pressure against hydraulic structures, the action of large ice floes drifting in the reservoir should be taken into account. The drift velocity is known to be generally proportional to the calculated wind velocity but the wind factor is not yet evaluated exactly. The paper analyses the conditions of ice floe motion in the reservoir and describes the technique of drift velocity prediction using the data on the roughness of the ice surface and on the percentage of the ice-covered surface of the reservoir.
