Abstract: A part of the tasks concerning winter operation of low-head barrages is connected with ice motion of highly covered river surfaces, termed saturated ice motion. This paper deals with permanent, rectilinear, uniform ice motion. The results draw attention to a few new features of ice motion. The first part of the paper introduces the concept of the so-called effective distance. This is a suitable parameter for characterizing ice conditions of rivers. The second part of the paper deals with the thrust distribution inside a moving ice body, assuming that water velocity is changing linearly. The results draw attention to a few new explanations of the forming of blocks of ice in the surroundings of the upper limit of backwater reaches.
