Lake ice design load expected on a pipe dock
Lake ice design load expected on a pipe dock
(OP)
Hi,
I'm currently designing a permanent pipe dock to be installed at the cabin...In addition to considering buckling, I need to consider ice loading...Does anyone know what the design pressure due to ice loading on marine structures is? Is this load dependant on the body of water (My location is in a small bay off of a big lake with very little wave action)
Thanks for helping me keep my dock secure!

Wave action has nothing to do with it. When the ice 'goes out', everything that's frozen into it goes, too.

Love the first sentence: "...nature considers all docks to be removable..."

I would also be concerned with the expansion of the freezing water in your pipes.
