1) Artificial Islands
Artificial islands were first built in the Beaufort Sea in the
early 1970s, both in Canada and Alaska. Most often used in
shallow coastal zones. They have great resistance to ice loads,
but may need protection from wave and ice scour, and hence
require more maintenance.
A short ice-free season can be used to advantage since fill
can be transported over ice roads. Artificial islands can be
further categorized into:
3) Floating
Both steel and concrete floating structures have been
proposed steel structures, (barges, ships and semi-subs) have
actually been used. Ice platforms also fit this category. Moored
barges, drillships and semisubmersibles, have been used in the
Arctic to date. Moored caissons remain on the drawing boards.
Dynamically positioned vessels have been used where ice
forces are moderate, or where there may be a need to move off
quickly (for example in case of ice bergs). Ice platforms have
been used where there is a stable ice cover for much of the
year. Below is an overview of the different floating structures.
b) Ice Floes
Any relatively flat piece of sea ice 20 m or more across
(individual feature). Ice concentration is measured as the
relative amount of water with respect to sea ice, measured in
tens.
Floes are subdivided according to horizontal extent as
follows:
c) Rafted Ice
Deformed ice occurs when one piece of ice overrides
another.
e) Rubble Pile
Floating or grounded accumulation of broken ice blocks of
first-year ice, generally caused by natural or man-made
obstruction.
d) Ice Ridges
Ice formation consisting of ice blocks formed as a result of
compression or shear of pack ice. First year ridges are not nice
and linear, but very irregular. There are five different types of
ridges.
f) Rubble Fields
Accumulation of floating or grounded rubble that forms in
same way as an ice ridge, but covers large expanse of sea
surface.
Iceberg classification:
Growlers (sail < 1.5 m).
Bergy bits (sail 1.5 to 5 m, mass < 5400 t).
Small bergs (sail 5 to 15 m, mass 5400 to 180,000 t).
Medium bergs (sail 15-45 m, mass 180,000 to 2,000,000 t).
Large bergs (mass > 2,000,000 t).
Or by shape:
Tabular;
Blocky;
Dome;
Drydock;
Pinnacle;
Wedge.
