| o explore brittle compressive failure of ice, experiments have been performed on samples of laboratory-grown freshwater and saline columnar ice at the Ice Research Laboratory at Dartmouth. Uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial compression experiments have been performed to map out the changes in failure mode and failure stress shown in the brittle regime and to assist in the development of physically-based models for compressive failure. Experiments have been performed at... |
