EG910012/1: Static Ice Loads on Hydro-Electric Structures: Environmental and Probabilistic Analysis of Thermal Loads
An environmental model has been developed in this project to predict the ice thickness, the snow cover thickness, the slush thickness, and the ice temperature profile area as a function of time over the winter for a reservoir ice sheet. The ice temperature profile area is one of the essential inputs to a predictor developed previously for thermal ice loads. The environmental model was compared against the field data measured at the Paugan, Arnprior, Otto Holdenm, and Seven Sisters dams. Hind-cas
