Introduction
• Ice loads on offshore structures are hard topredict
• If ice is present, limiting design case is usuallyice load
• Structures in ice-infested waters becomeincreasingly complex (multi-legged, flexible, ..)
• Ice-structure interaction is in many aspects not well understood yet

Challenges
Ice
Ice Loads
Structuralresponse
• Good forecast needed, but limited data available• Ice properties hard to predict for specific sites• risk of over- or underestimation at high costs• worst case scenario often inhomogeneous condition
(e.g. pressure ridges, rafted ice)
• Rules inaccurate / oversimplified (e.g. ISO 19906)• Complex interaction mechanisms not fully understood• Prediction and numerical simulation especially difficult
for complex structures and at transition conditions
• Not yet reliably predictable in dynamic ice-structureinteraction
• mechanism of ice-induced vibration not fullyunderstood

Recent advances in model testing• Project BRICE „breaking the ice“• Fraunhofer IWES, VTT, HSVA• Aid numerical models with physical modelling of complex
ice-structure interaction scenarios:– Transition to non-linear response (ice-induced resonant
vibrations)– Transition of failure modes

captured well• Good agreement with full

Example: Cone angle variation• Crushing on vertical
structures; risk of ice-induced resonant vibrations
• Flexural failure on conicalstructures (ice cones); lowbreaking frequency
• Transition?

Model test results• Maximum ice loads decrease
on conical structures, but velocity effect increases withincreasing slope
• Structural displacementincreases with increasingslope
• Oscillations can arise on all cones when ice drift speed ishigh enough
• 80° cone experiences periodsof crushing

Closing remarks• Ice loads and structural response of offshore structures
are subject to extensive research, but knowledge isinsufficient
• Validated numerical models required for designers toassess risks and define realistic design cases
• Physical model tests needed to monitor ice behaviourand provide validation data
• Model tests attractive for complex structures to get a feeling for their behaviour in ice
