Introduction
In the physical mechanical test of sea ice, it is found that the strength of sea ice is not only related to the temperature, salinity, and other generating environment, but also closely related to the size of sea ice. By establishing the relationship between sea ice strength and size, the size effect of sea ice has been studied.
In the early research on ice load of offshore platform structure and ship structure in ice area, it is found that sea ice not only affects the overall stability of the structure, but also causes local damage to the structure. The problem of determining these “local pressures” is a long-standing one which has faced the designers of ships and offshore structures throughout the history of operations in ice covered waters. Local loads affect areas from 1 m2 up to as much as 100 m2 and determine the design of steel plate thicknesses plus spacing and size of bracing or concrete wall thicknesses and the amount of reinforcing (Masterson and Frederking 1993)....
