Abstract: In order to fully utilize facilities on ice, it is necessary to determine the strength of structural members in ice for use as bollards, anchors, and piling. The adfreezing strength of freshwater ice, sea ice, and freshwater-sand slurry ice were determined using steel pipe, wood cylinders, steel box beams, and WF steel H-beams. In all cases, the ad freezing strength increased with decreasing temperature; it was considerably lessened, however, after being subjected to long term loads. Results of these tests also showed that pile type and shape, as well as type of ice and temperature, determined adfreezing strength.
