The ISO 19906 arctic structures standard specifies that ice loads be calculated at the extreme level (100 year return period) for verifying ultimate limit states and at the abnormal level (10,000 years) for accidental/abnormal limit states. Since ice load measurements on structures have only been made over much shorter time periods, concerns are often expressed about the accuracy to which 10,000 year values can be estimated. In this paper, the uncertainties in 100 and 10,000 year loads are considered through examples based on experience with calculations of loads on structures in different iceberg and sea ice environments. For icebergs, it is necessary to consider the size distribution of icebergs (including the potential presence of extremely large icebergs and ice islands) as well as drift velocities and shapes that can govern high return- period loads for fixed structures. With sea ice, abnormal-level loads can be governed either by the presence and geometrical properties of large discrete features (e.g. first-year ridges and stamukhi, or in the arctic, multi-year floes with thick ridges), or by very thick ice as a result of thermal growth. It is demonstrated how errors in key contributing ice parameters can influence extreme-level loads, and the relationship between level/rafted ice loads at the abnormal level and the factored (1.35) extreme-level values, and how these uncertainties might be considered in the design process.
ISO 19906北极结构标准规定,在极端水平(100年回复期)计算冰荷载,以验证最终极限状态,在异常水平(10,000年)计算意外/异常极限状态。由于对结构的冰荷载的测量只在较短的时间内进行,因此人们经常对一万年值的估计精度表示关注。本文根据不同冰山和海冰环境下结构的荷载计算经验,通过实例考虑了100年和10000年荷载的不确定性。对于冰山,有必要考虑冰山的大小分布(包括可能存在的极大的冰山和冰岛)以及漂移速度和形状,它们可以控制固定结构的高返回周期载荷。对于海冰,异常水平的负荷可以由大型离散特征的存在和几何特性来控制(例如,第一年的脊和stamukhi,或者在北极,具有厚脊的多年浮冰),或者由于热生长而产生的非常厚的冰。演示了关键贡献冰参数的误差如何影响极端水平荷载,以及异常水平/漂流冰荷载与因子(1.35)极端水平值之间的关系,以及如何在设计过程中考虑这些不确定性。

The ISO standard ISO 19906:2010 provides guidance for determining design loads for offshore structures in arctic and sub-arctic regions, using both deterministic and probabilistic approaches. References are provided for models of both first and multi-year ice loads on both vertically-faced and sloping structures. ISO 19906 indicates that consideration should be given to limit stresses at the ice structure interface based on the dominating ice failure mechanisms, limit forces associated with the available driving force that can act on the interacting ice floe due to wind, currents and surrounding ice, and the kinetic energy of the impacting feature. Analyses show that the kinetic energy of an impacting multi-year floe driven by surrounding ice will result in larger loads than those from driving forces alone. In order to determine penetrations and maximum loads, it is then necessary to consider the variation in load with penetration during an impact. In the case of multi-year ice loads on sloping structures, full-scale data to properly validate models is lacking. Several models are available that estimate maximum loads for level ice interactions with sloping structures. These models can partially account for rubble forming on the structure during the interaction thereby increasing loads, though the ability to estimate rubble heights for different structure shapes and ice conditions at present is limited. In the case of multi-year ridges, several models are available that estimate the maximum load during the interaction of a prismatic beam shaped ridge contacting a conical structure. Data and model for loads from more realistic multi-year ridge shapes are lacking. Additionally, the influence of rubble existing on the structure at the time the ridge impacts is not explicitly considered. This paper examines issues in determining probabilistic design loads for multi-year interactions with sloping structures and presents sensitivity results for key assumptions and parameters. The analyses were carried out using the Sea Ice Loads Software (SILS) developed by C-CORE as part of a Joint Industry Project (JIP) to implement ice load models referenced in ISO 19906 within a probabilistic framework for the purpose of determining design loads. Interpretation was required where ISO 19906 does not provide explicit details on the models and probabilistic implementation. Monte-Carlo simulation was selected for carrying out probabilistic calculations of design loads as this approach is robust.

Three ridged ice loading events have been analyzed from the Norströmsgrund lighthouse, off the Swedish coast. Ice load data from 1999 and 2000 were collected as part of the LOLEIF project. The three events described in this paper occurred in March and April 2000. The ridges were relatively small, with maximum keels of less than 5 m depth and sails of less than 0.5 m height.
