Compressive Strength of Model Ice Measurements

This data package contain a detailed measurement report and the measurements data from the mechanical property measurements conducted in HSVA Large Ice Tank.This work is part of HYDRALAB+ Adaptation for Climate Change – project that was supported by the European Community's Horizon 2020 Programme through the grant to the budget of the Integrated Infrastructure Initiative HYDRALAB+, Contract no. 654110. The measurements are a part of the deliverable D9.5 Collection of Benchmark data sets of Joint Research Activities (JRA) 2 – COMPLEX (Cross disciplinary Observations of Morphodynamics and Protective structures, Linked to Ecology and eXtreme events) within Hydralab+ project.

The focus of the tests was to provide compressive strength measurement data when the target flexural strength and aspect ratio (length to width ratio) is varied. The Young's modulus, flexural strength, salinity, and density are reported along previous lines. Additionally, the measurement data, raw and filtered, from the compressive strength measurements is provided. The provided measurement data was saved in ASCII format in .txt files. The files are named according to the number of the test, 001.txt etc. The first column in the files is the time stamp in seconds. The second column is the raw unfiltered data in Newtons. The third column is the filtered measurement data in Newtons.
