Abstract: The rubble pile forming during a shallow water ice-structure interaction process may ground. Grounding significantly affects the ice loading process and the magnitude of the ice loads induced on the structure. In this paper, we study this phenomenon and its effect on the ice loads based on numerical experiments on ice-inclined structure interaction. The simulations were performed using a two-dimensional combined finite-discrete method. The main interest of our study was to investigate the impact of the rubble pile grounding on the peak ice loads and on the ice loading process.
