Description: CRREL Report
Abstract: This report describes the equipment and procedures that were used for acquiring, preparing and testing samples of multi-year sea ice. Techniques and procedures are discussed for testing ice samples in compression and tension at constant strain rates and constant loads, as well as in a conventional triaxial cell. A detailed account is given of the applicalion and measurement of forces and displacements on the the ice test specimens under these different loading conditions.
