Summary
Recent observations are summarized, in which it has been found that in compressive ice failure, zones of high-pressure form with pressures locally as high as 70 MPa. Various aspects of ice behaviour are summarized: creep, fracture, recrystallization, and the development of microstructurally modified layers of ice. Pressure melting is described, whereby the melting temperature decreases with accompanying hydrostatic pressure. The importance of fracture and spalling in the development of high-pressure zones is emphasized. The use of mechanics in analysis of ice failure is discussed.
