Abstract: The stability of ice floes arrested at the upstream edge of an ice cover has been studied by a number of investigators both in the field and in the laboratory. Limiting velocities for stability have been noted as early as in the 1920s while actual studies of the mechanics governing stability date back about 20 years. Among early work on this problem is that of Pariset and Hausser reported at the IAHR Seminar on “Ice Problems in Hydraulic Structures” in Montreal in 1959. Since then Uzuner and Kennedy, Michel, Ashton among others have reported on experiments and analytical work on this subject. The stability of ice floes transported from upstream is an ingredient of the mechanics of ice cover formation. This note is a brief summary of results obtained as part of a master's thesis (Johansson, Nilsson 1975) carried out at Lund Institute of Technology.
