This manual presents guidance for the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of ice control and ice suppression measures. All Corps of Engineer projects subjected to freezing temperatures have ice problems such as: ice buildup on lock walls, hydropower intakes, and lock approaches; accumulation in navigation channels; ice passage over spillways that scours the downstream channel; and ice damage to shore structures and shoreline, etc. The Army Corps of Engineers experience in ice engineering is applicable to much civilian civil engineering, and ice control measures should be considered for both new and existing projects to improve their operation and safety in cold regions. This manual discusses ice formation processes, physical properties and potential solutions to associated problems.

Increasing operational use od ice areas in polar regions has heightened the requirement for improved knowledge and techniques to analyze the behavior of sea ice. Previous studies on elastic behavior are reviewed with emphasis placed on plate analysis. Classical plate theory and the finite element method are compared in analyzing ice plates, with special attention given to sea-ice airfields. Since elastic analysis is not totally representative of actual ice behavior, a general formulation is presented which gives the assumptions and procedures for both viscoelastic and nonlinear domains of sea-ice behavior. A laboratory program is being initiated to determine material properties that are necessary to extend sea-ice analysis into the inelastic range. (Author).
