Abstract: Structures in first-year ice are subject to ice loads from level sheet ice, pressure ridges and rubble fields. Wide ridges and rubble fields can be treated as a consolidated layer of level ice with additional forces due to the sail and keel resistance. This paper presents an analysiS for level ice acting on a sloping structure and is relevant to the forces caused by sheet ice and the consolidated layers of wide ridges and rubble fields in first-year ice. The method builds on the original two-dimensional analysis of Croasdale (1980) and incorporates adjustments for three-dimensional effects as well as in-plane compression. Also, the effects of ice rubble build-up in front of the structure are a ccounted for.
