Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large-scale ice strength tests were conducted two miles northeast of the West Dock near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in January-April 1981. The purpose was to measure uniaxial compressive strength of winter ice at various strain rates, to measure uniaxial compressive strength of sea ice under simulated break up conditions at various strain rates, and to measure ice pressure during indentation tests at two strain rates.
