Summary

Extensive work in recent years has been carried out on the calculation of global ice loads on a probabilistic basis. An analysis method is presented for local ice pressures, which yields values of pressure for specified values of exceedance probability. In developing this method, particular attention has been paid to problems of exposure as well as the area of exposure. Data were ranked and curves were fitted through the tail of probability plots for three panel sizes. Formulae useful in the design of structures in ice are presented.
