Abstract: This paper summarizes adfreeze bond strength experiments between sea ice and various commonly used construction materials for offshore structures such as concrete and steel which the authors have been conducting for six years. The following testing methods were used in this study: i) push out method, ii) pull out method, and iii) twist method. The following conclusions have been drawn from this study: i) the three testing methods developed by the authors gave no great differences for adfreeze bond strength, ii) when adfreeze bond experiments are conducted, the test pile material’s surface must be analyzed, and iii) the push out method is recommended for laboratory tests because of the ease in conducting the test as well as obtaining test samples.
