Abstract: A subpress designed to produce plane strain deformation was used to perform constant strain rate compression tests on columnar-grained ice. The failure stress, for the case of plane strain compression with the second principal stress direction perpendicular to the columnar-grain axes, was at least double that for uniaxial compression. A difference in the deformation mechanism between the two modes of compression is suggested as the reason for the variation in failure stress.
