Experimental Researches of Destruction of Ice Cover Are in Small Ice Experimental Tank
For research ice of movement courts in a continuous icy cover in the leading countries of buildings ice-breakers utilized expensive ice experimental tank. Expenses on the receipt of one icy field can exceed $10 000. It hampers development of methods of design of icy cover. For researches in area of design of icy cover the use of small ice pool is offered a size 1.1x2.4x0.4 m, which is placed into a climatic chamber. Experiments are conducted on breaking of icy cover on the chart of central laddering and successive gasket of channel. Principal reasons of scale effects and possibility of their neutralization are found. As a result of experiments it is got with thin ice of 2-3mm, that module of resilience got from the formula of Hertz for an endless plate on resilient foundation comports with the known information.
