Description

This new report brings together the relevant experience currently available in designing and building offshore arctic concrete structures. Design criteria have been highlighted, problem areas discussed and future research needs identified. The documennt is aimed principally at the arctic and sub-artic areas bordering the United States and Canadian coastlines (Fig. 1). The arctic environment and its influence on structures are identified. Typical environmental and geotechnical conditions, types of ice features, and efforts on ice surveillance and ice measurements are discussed. Existing and proposed forms of arctic structures are described. Design criteria, materials durability in the arctic environment, and effects of coatings on reducing ice adhesions and friction are discussed together with special considerations for structural and foundation design. Research and development needs to further improve the design of arctic structures are identified.
