Basin tests were performed at the Aalto Ice Tank to gather data on ice action and ice-structure interaction. A real-time hybrid test setup was mounted to a carriage on a bridge spanning the ice tank. A vertically sided cylindrical pile was moved through the ice by moving the carriage along the bridge. The dynamic response to the measured ice loads was simulated by the real-time hybrid test setup for a range of test structures including offshore wind turbines, a series of single- and multi-degree-of-freedom oscillators, the Norströmsgrund lighthouse and the Molikpaq caisson structure. In addition, ice loads were measured in forced vibration tests and while moving the rigid pile through the ice with a constant speed.
A full description of the data and experimental design has been published in Data in Brief, see the project references. For questions about the data contact Hayo Hendrikse (h.hendrikse@tudelft.nl).
