Abstract: The determination of vertical forces a floating ice cover exerts on a frozen-in circular pier or pile, due to a change in the water level is discussed and analyzed. Since for engineering purposes the knowledge of the largest possible force is often sufficient, the analysis is restricted to the assumption that the ice plate responds elastically. In order to reduce the necessary calculations in the field to a minimum, the obtained results were evaluated numerically for a wide range of geometrical and material parameters which occur in practice and are presented graphically.
