Abstract | Ice interactions with the Confederation Bridge for the winters 2008, 2009 and 2010 have been studied. Ice conditions for these winters were characterized by two average and one very mild. Tilt data from piers P23 and P24 in response to ice and wind actions were recorded by a data acquisition system. Video records of ice interactions with pier P23 and overall ice conditions adjacent to piers P23 and P24 allowed ice conditions and interaction processes to be related to tilt measurements. Wind data were analysed to correct for the tilt caused by wind actions on the bridge. Limit stress and limit force events were identified. An ice loading scenario that transitioned from limit force to limit stress resulted in the highest ice forces measured over the three years of monitoring, with forces of 3.1 MN and 4.3 MN at P23 and P24, respectively. This loading event corresponded to a likwly adfreeze condition. |
